That's one of the reasons why I'd love to see _FULL_ SyncML support -- support protocols, not specific solutions. Then the application ecosystem can fill in any gaps.
b) to a self-hosted server (for those cases where calendars contain sensitive data that cannot be stored on third party servers)?
So, CommuniGate Pro (which can run on Linux) ... Zimbra(?) ... isn't there an Exchange compatible Evolution server as well?

MMS receipt would maybe gotten us far enough, so others can send her photo to you, but we decided to put our R&D into other areas.

well thats confirmed i guess. wonder how long until someone nails together a third party mms system. i guess the messaging system can handle plugins?
One of the reason I have an N810 is so that I can BT phone pics to it and then send them as email attachments... bypassing my carriers dang MMS server altogether.

You heard that right. No separate he/she/it, it all goes into one 3rd person giant melting pot (a la 'they'). Definitely results in some funky English.

from what i understand, its mostly about grabbing a special sms when it comes, parse it, and aim a connection towards a carrier server to download the data.
question is if someone in the community can write a app that interfaces with the messaging system of the phone to do just that...
btw, i think nokia just handed the iphone faithful a big blinking neon "told you" sign...
