sync an N800?

mma8x · 04-14-2008, 04:32 PM

i'm thinking about buying a nokia n800, but haven't been able to find info about 2 key issues:
1. is there yet a stable pim out there? i saw a kde port, but don't really want to mess with the standard maemo interface if i can help it.
2. can the pim (if it exists) sync with a linux desktop?

this seems like such a no-brainer for a linux platform that's now been around for a while, i'm surprised that i can't find it...

I use GPE pretty successfully on an N800. The learning curve is a little more than I'd cared for, and it's a little more buggy than I'd like, but it works pretty well. I use opensync with the GPE-evolution synchronization channel. There is a really good tutorial here:

perfect! just what i was looking for, thanks. looks like it will sync with kontact as well. and if it isn't a bit hard to use, and a little buggy, well it just ain't linux, right?

I suppose that's true

. Glad it worked out, and welcome to the N800 club.
