Nice work, Michael, but a day late for this puppy - I finally got the a
multisync CVS snapshot to build correctly on warty yesterday! It seems
that they're fairly active developmentally at the moment and not every
day seems to compile... 



However, getting the base app and the Evo2 plugin working lead to the
next hurdle: Anyone had any luck syncing with Nokia phones (especially
the 6820, in my case) via SyncML? I've read various Howtos involving
using gnubox to set up IP over BT for this purpose, but this seems
extremely complex for something that should surely be pretty
straightforward. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.



Cheers,



Nic
