I have recently bought a Nokia E71 smartphone, mainly for its full keyboard and built in GPS, I'm looking for ways to connect it to my Linux box.
Getting the data across isn't actually too difficult, I have it working with Funambol already but my problem is that there doesn't seem to be a simple and straightforward desktop (or web) application that lets me access (and edit) my contacts and calendar.
It *feels* like Linux is going the Windows way of humungeous applications that do everything. There are lots of "groupware" applications that will talk to Funambol but they're all huge with web site maintenance, E-Mail and lots of other things that I most definitely don't want (as part of my PIM anyway).
There seem to be no simple desktop PIMs that will talk to Funambol.
The nearest things to what I want are Evolution (which needs some faffing about to get it to work, it's not "out of the box) and the Mozilla Sunbird and Lightning calendars (but what do I do about contacts?).
The demo application that comes with Funambol just about works but it is a *bit* clunky, however it's about the nearest to what I want.
Does anyone have any better suggestions for this whole thing? As it is it seems to me that Funambol is a bit OTT, there's about 200Mb of it!
All I really want is a PIM that will talk SyncMl direct to my Nokia, I don't really need a server (Funambol) that allows me to synchronise with Outlook, Groupware systems, and everything else as well as my Nokia.
