Hi there,
I have a Nokia N82 and can't get it running with gnokii 0.6.26 on openSUSE 11.1
Below you can see my gnokii.rc
When I try e.g. "gnokii --getphonebook ME 1 end"
I only get "Error reading from the location 1 in memory ME Error: Unknown error - well better than nothing!!"
gnokii --identify actually does work. The phone is connected via USB and of course I chose "PC Suite" as connection method.
I already reported to the gnokii mailing list, but without any response yet. So I wonder, has anyone of you a running gnokii with a Nseries devide like N82, N95 or similar? Nokia support on other than Windows is really crap. I have a Nokia eXpressMusic and it is not even supported on my Mac. Don't even mention Linux support.
One could only hope that one thing Nokia do with Qt is make a decent cross-platform interface to their products. Current support is really crap.

Are all cell phones with SyncML compatible with Linux? I've been browsing phones for this feature over at phone scoop: http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/finder.php
If you click on "Show all options", SyncML will appear in the Productivity category.
(If you receive multiple copies of this message, I aplogize. I got a message that the first attempt was denied, so I'm resending.

SyncML is a client server protocol, and unfortunately phone to computer really needs client client support which is not part of the SyncML standard as published by OMA (Open Mobile Alliance). Neither doze or Linux clients really do this well, and the Doze client is not to be trusted. (This problem goes back to the PSION days). The old style nokia material (e.g gnokii) I would not expect to work with later symbian based phones. The server options available are egroupware (which sets up a functional web based groupware application which has basic support for SyncML), and Funambol which is a bit more heavy duty and not part of the openSuSE distribution. Funambol does have a variety of clients (one of which does work quite well with Evolution but as of yet does not have a GUI interface), there are two Thunderbird clients one of which used to work on openSuSE (there seems to be an issue with the openSuSE version of Thunderbird, funambol client API and SyncML, the status of which I have not looked into for quite a while). I believe Zimbra has SyncML support (but I have never looked at this). There are 3rd party sites which supply SyncML services as well. An alternative is the free FTP server for the phone, which is only safe to use on a USB or personal wireless connections, or the not free Mocha internet support applications. I get the impression that opensync have lost the plot somewhere, but there is a fairly well described Java and C++ api for Funambol for both client and server side functionality. (This API can function for non-Funambol SyncML stuff so if the opensync stuff is not available there are alternatives available to those who are keen to get this sorted out). - -- ============================================================================== I have always wished that my computer would be as easy to use as my telephone.
