I'm currently working on a way to get my SQL address database into the phone and therefore making heavy use of the scripts mentioned here:
http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Import_Vcf_Contacts Thanks to the contributors so far, here's my part: - ssh/BT session: dbus-launch <script> doesn't seem to work, in fact the error message is even yet more misleading (getContactList with signature 's' and so on). Instead, the way of the manage-contacts.py script seems to work pretty well. It simply requires to add the following lines at the start of the program: ps = os.popen ('ps auxwwwwe | grep -m 1 DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS') l = ps.read () r = re.compile ('DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS=(\S+)') m = r.search (l) a = m.expand ('\\1') os.environ ['DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS'] = a I would encourage to update the existing scripts with this mechanism if it prooves (remove-contacts, manage-contacts worked for me this way). In cases it still doesn't work, there's another alternative instead of using the moko terminal, described here: http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Import_Sim_Contacts - unicode/UTF8 I managed to convert vcard fields into proper UTF-8 (from plain ASCII). But it seems to me that UTF-8 conversion is not well supported with the basic (python) set-up on the phone. I had to do this on my linux host. Also, the resulting characters were not correctly displayed in my case even though contacts import did not complain (any experience here whether display of e.g. german umlaute works?) I will post my SQL->phone script next days when it's finished (still working on extensions like mobile/work/email etc).
