Hello all, I am a new BlackBerry (8310) owner, and relatively new Linux (currently, Kubuntu Hardy) user (about one year).
First, let me say thanks for the great effort with the Barry project. (I suppose I should also thank the OpenSync folks, too!) I have my BB successfully communicating and synchronizing with Linux/KDE-PIM. All of the following work wonderfully: - microSD card mounting - USB mass-storage mode file viewing and transferring - media management via Amarok - USB charging - synchronization of KDE-PIM calendar events The only issue I have regards synchronization of KDE-PIM contacts. The synchronization is setup properly, and runs just fine. The issue is that I have over 2,000 contacts in KDE-PIM, and don't want to synchronize all of them to my BB. Does Barry currently (or are there plans for Barry in the future to) support contact categories? I would love to be able to assign all of my to-be-synchronized KDE-PIM contacts a "BlackBerry" category, and then have Barry only sync such-categorized contacts. I poked through the barry-devel list archives and found some references to support for categories, but wasn't sure of the degree or timing of implementation of this functionality. Thanks again for a great tool, and please let me know how I can help. I'm not much of a developer, but would be happy to help in other ways. On that note, I did write a how-to detailing my experience getting everything set up to synchronize between my BlackBerry and KDE-PIM in Kubuntu Hardy: http://www.chipbennett.net/wordpress/index.php/2008/05/synchronizing-a-blackberry-in-linux/ I know that anything I write will likely be very oriented toward Kubuntu/KDE-PIM, but I'll be happy to keep the how-to updated if it will be helpful to others.
