I'm unaware of any software to sync Symbian, even the old Psion OS tools (Symbian being derived from Psion) only provided an FTP type interface IIRC. However, there are a plethora of tools for Palms, GNOME tools, KDE tools, stand-alone tools... Not sure that would be guaranteed to work with a smart phone as opposed to a PDA, but I don't see why not... -- James Ogley, Webmaster, Rubber Turnip james@rubberturnip.org.uk http://www.rubberturnip.org.uk Jabber: riggwelter@myjabber.net Using Free Software since 1994, running GNU/Linux (SuSE 8.2).

Here are a couple of links that i found for the Sony P800 - i have not tried any of the software as i cannot afford the 'phone at the moment!! http://mobile.linux.pt/p800/ http://www.fireship.f2s.com/ They also seem to be mainly related to connections rather that syncing - but they may give you some pointers Tim

There is KPsiom: http://apps.kde.com/na/2/info/id/1120?sid=e1339ecb98c8f1c0e308700fe50a cec4&sid=e1339ecb98c8f1c0e308700fe50acec4 but I don't know how good well it works.
