Re: [Opensync-users] One-way sync (WAS: Advice on a cell phone purchase?)

[Emanoil K. <del...@ya...>]

Hi, thanks for the posting,

I'm currently not syncing, but that was how I had synced my Dell Axim
x50v way back when. It was a nightmare to configure, and after moving
from Fedora to Ubuntu as a daily driver I had not been able to get it
syncing again.
ok :-(

i won't do this reading again, because last time I had a notebook with bluetooth, so it was easier to find information and I spent 3 days to get everything working and find out that there is a character conversion problem.

So to be honest I'm thinking of buying either a Mac machine or a phone that works for sure. But the last thing is in doubt so I tend to the first sollution.

I'm pretty buzzy untill september but then I'll take my time to solve the problem once and for ever. I was very glad about 2 years ago with Palm III and Siemens S55.

Since then I think I'm in the stone age.
That's good. If your machine is a laptop, then just try going into the
store and asking. Can't hurt. I'm not quite up to the level where I
can get things configured in just a few minutes, that's why I have not
yet tried. That, and I'm in the middle of exams.
I do understand no problem.

I just googled your phone and I see that people are syncing it, but
not without trouble:

Great I'll check, thanks for all the good words.
