I've been actually going through a similar process, trying out a Nokia N95 (SymbianOS) to replace my Tungsten T3. With the Tungsten I was synching with JPilot (using pilot-link) on Ubuntu HH - always worked flawlessly. Cannot say the same for the Nokia N95! N95 has fantastic hardware, but the synching isn't anywhere near as mature as pilot-link. Basically for this combo you need to use the multisync/opensync tools synching with evolution (which I don't personally like) or perhaps google calendar. So far have not managed a successful synch, which is less that ideal. I've actually decided to not synch the N95 with my Linux box, instead am using Google Calendar & GooSync http://www.goosync.com/ (which I think if you pay for the premium service can synch gmail contacts). Am thinking because of the excellence of pilot-link, other PDA/phone synching won't ever be as good as a good old Palm! cheers Daryn ========================== The PalmHeads: http://planetnz.com/palmheads PalmHeads Blog: http://palmheads.blogspot.com
