Bug #2: Only the first two lines in the Notes field will sync to the N900.

I have contacts on my mac's Address Book that have birthday entries. I have sync'd my mac with my phone and the N900 reproduces the birthdays in the contact's information faithfully. These in turn show up on the Birthdays calendar on the N900.
I can also edit the birthday (or add it in the first place) on the N900 contact edit screen. Save the contact and sync it and the entry in Address Book reflects the change correctly.
Are you still experiencing that issue?

I have some very extensive notes for some of my contacts, and was quite impressed to see that they had all moved over to the N900 intact.. a first for any phone I've ever owned.

Not 3quid's fault, it's a difference in the address-handling between osx and N900 [1]. Check out my plugin in this thread, it should have a workaround.
[1] OSX/ISync doesn't seem to like it if vcards have both LABEL (unstructured address) and ADR (structured address) fields, but the N900 puts them both, which afaict is what the vcard standard recommends (mandates?).
Anyhow I should have fixed/worked around this in my plugin, by creating a field mapping from LABEL to some unexisting field.

Any chance that the iSync log could indicate which contacts/events were added/modified?

Using PC-Suite, you can synch. those to Outlook. On the N900, they are weirdly enough hidden away in the Calendar app (next to tasks and events - i.e. the notes of the notes app do not sync).
I think that is a ISync limitation though, it does not work with my E71 either.

OK, I have a solution for syncing events with alarms created on the N900 back to the Mac, and I need a couple of volunteers to test it for me.
WARING! WARNING!
This solution involves changing one of the system libraries on your N900 (specifically /usr//lib/libcalendar-backend) as such I will not be providing instructions on how to do this, if you are not completely comfortable with .deb files, this isn't for you. This may brick your device, it may prevent you from installing PR1.2, it may damage all your data on both your N900 and your Mac. In fact, assume it will so any loss is your fault, not mine.
That said, if you want to help, send me an e-mail at dave at smithfamily.org.uk absolving me of all responsibility for the well being of your data and hardware, and I'll send the update out.
Just to reinforce the point, this is nothing to do with Nokia, it is not sanctioned by them, and it may well break things. This is purely a request for help in testing something and will not be final version. If any of this makes you feel uneasy, don't volunteer and hope my fix makes it into a future official update.
