Nokia? E51

Low-level syncing over Bluetooth/OBEX works fine with libsyncml 0.4.6. Channel 10. Calendar syncing did not work with libsyncml 0.4.5 or earlier. Commands to test low-level operations:

jas@mocca:~$ syncml-obex-client -b $MAC $CHANNEL --slow-sync text/x-vcard Contacts --wbxml --identifier "PC Suite"
...
jas@mocca:~$ syncml-obex-client -b $MAC $CHANNEL --slow-sync text/x-vcalendar Calendar --wbxml --identifier "PC Suite"
...

To download both contact and calendar, you can use:

jas@mocca:~$ syncml-obex-client -b $MAC $CHANNEL --slow-sync text/x-vcard Contacts --slow-sync text/x-vcalendar Calendar --wbxml --identifier "PC Suite"
...

It is not clear to me whether to use text/x-vcalendar or text/calendar. Both appear to work. They may trigger some different behaviour, for example vCal vs iCal. Anyone?

With opensync (i.e., msynctool) I ran into severe problems when trying to sync both calendar and contacts at the same time. The phone hang displaying 'Ansluter' (Swedish for 'Connecting') and never replied. I debugged this and discovered that the phone cannot mix versions: either you use vcard21 and vevent10 or you use vcard30 and vevent20. You can't use vcard21 with vevent20 or vcard30 with vevent10.

OpenSync? configuration below. When I also use iSync on Mac OS X, I get duplicates in the non-phone stores in opensync. Slow-syncing the contact/calendar to an empty file store works relatively reliably.

   Field objformat set the object format which should be used to store.
   objformat is optional - by default objformat is "file".
