Thanks indeed for your explanations.
What really matters to me is being able to access the phonebook and saving
its data, no matter with what app. Is that possible with opensync?

That's bad news :(

It seems that I managed to compile it. The only problem is that the only
available plugin seems to be file-sync, not syncml-http-server nor
syncml-obex-client. See my next message on the present mailing list.

I've been trying hard, lately, to solve the problem, i.e. to manage
to see my phone filesystem and save its data.
I tried several tools, none of which successful, also Gnokii.
With Gnokii I didn't manage to access my phone, nor did they from
the gnokii mailing list reply to my request of help. See:

If it works, it will be all right... :)
Thanks, cheers
