Thanks for reporting this! Unfortunately, the Blackberries that I have
only support US English, and the extra symbols it provides don't show up
as anything more special than ASCII in the btool output.
Here's what you can do to help me out:
Run btool and capture the output with hexdump. For example, here is my
test on Debian:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] btool -d "Address Book" |hexdump -C

I'm curious what format the umlaut is being given to me in the record data.
Please try with and without UTF-8, as you said it worked when UTF-8 was
disabled.
Then do:
btool -v -d "Address Book"
No call to hexdump is needed here. This will give me the exact record data
that I get from the device.
I only need the record with the umlaut. Feel free to send it in private
mail if you want to send the whole thing and let me sort it out. :-)
Thanks!
