About the phone

The Sony Ericsson W890i is a mobile phone released on March 3, 2008. The phone is the latest in Sony Ericsson's Walkman series of phones. At 9.9mm thick, it is the natural successor to the W880i. It will be available in the colors of Mocha Brown, Sparkling Silver, Metal Maroon and Turbo Black.

OpenSync compatibility

As of writing (August 2008, OpenSync 0.36), the synchronization works at least partly, but it is not easy to set up. Parts only work with syncml, others only do with irmc. Therefore, you need two different groups: 

msynctool --addgroup w890-contacts
msynctool --addgroup w890-events

Synchronizing contacts

I didn't get to work to synchronize contacts with syncml (see 791), but it works with irmc. 

msynctool --addmember w890-contacts irmc-sync
msynctool --configure w890-contacts 1

Configuration is easy (change btunit to your devices MAC address): 

<config>
  <connectmedium>bluetooth</connectmedium>
  <btunit>00:12:34:56:78:9a</btunit>
  <btchannel>7</btchannel>
</config>

Unfortunately, only the synchronization of contacts works with irmc, so you need to disable all other object types: 

msynctool --disable-objtype w890-contacts event
msynctool --disable-objtype w890-contacts todo
msynctool --disable-objtype w890-contacts note

Synchronizing events

As mentioned above, the synchronization of events doesn't work with irmc, but with syncml, it does. 

msynctool --addmember w890-events syncml-obex-client
msynctool --configure w890-events 1

Configuration (adapt bluetooth address again): 

<config>
  <type>2</type>
  <bluetooth_address>00:12:34:56:78:9a</bluetooth_address>
  <bluetooth_channel>10</bluetooth_channel>
  <interface>0</interface>
  <identifier></identifier>
  <version>1</version>
  <wbxml>1</wbxml>
  <username></username>
  <password></password>
  <usestringtable>0</usestringtable>
  <onlyreplace>0</onlyreplace>
  <onlyLocaltime>0</onlyLocaltime>
  <recvLimit>0</recvLimit>
  <maxObjSize>0</maxObjSize>
  <database>
     <name>Calendar</name>
     <objtype>event</objtype>
     <objformat>vevent10</objformat>
  </database>
</config>

Disable contacts: 

msynctool --disable-objtype w890-events contacts

Note that I didn't test the synchronization of notes and todos, so you might need to disable them as well.
