ah yes., already did. there's a nice article there on using ubuntu
linux with symbian,
also browsed through allaboutsymbian.org to look for some .sis or
.sisx or even a java app to break the ice
between the two devices.

yup! this could be done. am aware of this.
am also aware of the nokia pc-suite outlookexpress route.

in fact, i must tell you that after several hours of mucking around in ubuntu
i finally gave up, and found a technique of doing this under mac OS,
by using iSync and resetting the device.
the contacts are back in my mobile. whew!

nevertheless, this topic is far from over.
i don't want to boot into mac OS to handle last decade's consumer-workflow.

there *has* to be a way of handling this under linux-based pcs.

in other news, nokia has kept its promise and opensourced symbian.
