How about adding contacts to groups? It is a right royal pain in the <bleep> to open about 450 contacts manually and add them to 5 or 6 groups. My Nokia 5130 XM, purchased in January 2010 met sudden death due to a certain Mr. Issac Newton (heh!) last week. From Jan. 2010 to Dec 2010, I could not finish adding all the contacts to the groups. This requires that wammu/gammu supports the "enhanced address book" feature. The phone should allow wammu/gammu / whatever to write such data to it. Nokia 5130XM would allow reading, but not writing. One good thing about this model was that it allowed me to save contacts in Malayalam (yes, fonts were there in the phone), and it supported Unicode. I had to open the contact in wammu edit it, (using, for example, a name in ML) and then save it back to the phone, The phone itself would not support input methodss for languages other than HI, MR and Gujarati. Here too, enhanced phone book support was not available. On a PC, this job (manipulating the address book) would not take more than one hour. I cannot do that on the cloud. I am really a down to earth person. Support for an open format like vcf and dumping it into the memory card is a saving grace though. I guess emacs will do the editing. > Apart from this, what else you want to edit?? If you want to get in > deep, try their android development kit, start their remote shell > and play with the API. That would be overkill. I want to learning driving; not automobile engineering. But the suggestion is welcome. I at least know that I can pay somebody to do what I want. Whether that will work in reality is something would like to know. But, hey, is it possible to do something like remote login from the PC to the android phone, like, say using wifi or bluetooth, and run an addressbook editor inside the phone? -- Mahesh T.
