Can anyone say how Calendar sync works with regard to Outlook. Categories, alarms, etc., and Outlook tasks, including alarms, etc.
Not a biggie? Lotus Notes is only the second largest corporate email platform. And probably among the Fortune 500 probably the largest. Shouldn't be that hard to fix hopefully?

Didn't mean Lotus notes. That would be a big deal. Anyone sync with Outlook yet?

Thanks for the clarification. When Notes was mentioned along with Outlook I thought you meant Lotus Notes.

Hi everybody,
has anyone tried to sync the N900 with linux?

The reason I'm asking is that I'm using Ubuntu (linux) and most of the smartphones out there are really hard to get synced with.
I thought because Maemo is based on debian synchronisation should work much better.

I've managed to sync Outlook 2010 (the public beta version) with my N900 using Nokia PC Suite 7.1.40.1.

After some experimentation (see below), I established an initial sync to replace everything in the mobile device with data from Outlook.

Contacts seems to have sync-ed fine.

Calendar is OK (I have ~5000 entries dating back 10 years) - although a 100 or so entries were apparently refused by the N900. I haven't got to the bottom of this, but it seems to be entries before about the year 2000 that failed to transfer.

Notes apparently sync-ed ok, but there doesn't seem to be any application on the N900 to handle them, so I don't know where they have been sent!

Before using PC Suite to sync, I used the N900's Transfer & sync utility to pull all my contacts from my E71 (over Bt). Transfer of my large calendar failed after about 2700 entries had been received.

Simon.

That is good news. How did it handle Outlook categories? How did it handle recurring events? What about tasks? Thanks in advance.

Thanks!!
Anybody could file a bug report in bugs.maemo.org against Synchronization/PC Suite in that case, please, plus also pointing to this thread?

Thanks in advance!
