I guess you are using Syncevolution ?

I haven't tested that yet. In any case, for those coming from symbian devices which have supported syncml for a LONG time, this will be a surprise

I wrote here why I believe Nokia will provide iSync support via their plugin for Nokia N900. But cannot be sure without official confirmation. I wouldn't worry though... lets wait, device is not released yet... there are some alternatives provided in the thread I link to for in the unfortunate, unlikely case iSync support will never exist for N900.

Honestly I didn't even attempt syncevolution with my n810 since that device doesn't really have an integrated PIM worth anything. I have kept my contacts and calendar on my e71. I am hoping that the n900 will provide some convergence there

that's only half true. the data backend on the N810 supports full address data and a calendar; what's missing from a default installation is the front end to display all the information.

which in a first step only means that whatever you sync to your device is partially hidden by the "contacts" application. but it's there.

The solution is called pimlico contacts. it allows you to view and edit pretty much everything. (there's also a calendar solution.)

pity the developers there abandoned maemo a while ago. their latest working release looks terrible (broken icons, no proper hildonization) but works and is stable (for me).

for me, the N810 shows the same contact info as my S60 phone, and both are synced via http so that they receive data from my desktop PC. i like it and i hope eventually maemo 5 will catch up.

thanks for the info on hacking together something with an old and incomplete pimlico + syncevolution solution.

Hopefully syncevolution will be adaptable to the built-in contacts and calendar in maemo5 which appeara at least to far exceed what was in diablo. Does anyone who has the device or has researched the sdk know what type of backend maemo5 is using for contacts and calendar data?
