Re: Transfering contacts to N900
Hi Keywan, Did you try to export as a CSV and Import from file on your N900? I have a related question, I can't figure out how to get the phone to sync contacts from a SyncML service. Anyone know what I need to do? Cheers, Dave.

On the N900 a dialog for pairing appeared, but multisync didn't show me the PIN code, so I wasn't able to finish pairing.

Hi Dave, Am Montag, den 12.10.2009, 11:53 +0200 schrieb Dave Neary: Did you try to export as a CSV and Import from file on your N900? thank you for the hint. I synced my phone (SE w810i) with evolution using multisync0.90 and then export the address book to Vcard. I send this file via Bluetooth to the N900 and imported it there. I have a related question, I can't figure out how to get the phone to sync contacts from a SyncML service. Anyone know what I need to do? Do you mean with phone another one or the N900. I used multisync0.90 and syncml-obex-client. The phone was connect with an USB cable to my PC.

Answering my own question, I found this page on Google: http://www.google.com/support/mobile/bin/topic.py?topic=14298 The S60 instructions appear to be compatible with my Nokia N900, which doesn't appear to have a SyncML option that I can find, but unfortunately, the process doesn't conclude successfully.

But in this screen, when I hit next, the connection just times out, and I get an error message. Any hints tips from people for whom this works? Cheers, Dave.

how to take optimal care of n900 battery?
Hi guys and girls, how can we keep the battery in good shape? any specific recharge pattern tips? also, is it possible to have the alarm feature work even when the battery is empty/device has passed out? i know my older cellphones did this and i really liked it. but i learned the hard way the n900 doesn't do this unless i'm missing something. so to avoid nasty suprises i plug the power in every evening ...
