I was always worried about the issue of synchronizing the contacts / calendar of the mobile phone and OS. But all did not reach the hands. I decided to address the issue. In fact, everything turns out to be very simple. Let me give you an example with Ubuntu 9.04 and a Nokia mobile phone.
In jaunty, the kdepim plugin for opensync was miraculously forgotten. Package for amd64
Create a synchronization group between kdepim and the SyncML device.
We are looking for a phone (do not forget to make sure that it is available for search):
It will turn out something like:
The editor will open. You need to fill out something like this:
As for bluetooth_channel, it can change for different phone models. Therefore, it is worth looking with sdptool and looking for the channel number for “Nokia SyncML Client” in the output.
If Kontact is running, close. If there is no pairing with the phone, it can be displayed via Kdebluetooth4. Sync: Done. Those who wish can dream up on the topic of how to automate this (cron, autostart, etc.).
