Ripping mobility from the clutches of telecom
OS 2008 Tests
Trying out a posting from MaemoWordPy on the N810. The keyboard certainly is nice. Still a lot of work to be done in porting apps over from previous versions though. I miss my home screen apps.
Calendar and contacts support still doesn’t seem to cross to the phone at all. There is no calendar app built into OS2008 still. Contacts don’t sync from my N95 to the N810 either. In an ideal world I would be able to use the N810 for everything, even voice calls and sending and receiving SMS messages, without having to take my handset out of my backpack.

I don’t understand what is Nokia playing to. It is obvious that OS2008 should be able to connect via bluetooth to your phone and edit your phone agenda/calendar/todo and make calls via bluetooth.
They must have the stack being used into car bluetooth speakers. It is only a matter of recompiling it.
You don’t have to sync your contacts if you simply edit them from the tablet to the phone.
I simply don’t get it. That would be a winner.

I know it’s not as integrated as you would like but did you try PhoneLink and ContactInfos ?
it allows you to dial and sens SMS from your IT via bluetooth and can use contacts from GPE or the default Contacts. You’ll find them at https://garage.maemo.org/projects/phonelink/ and https://garage.maemo.org/projects/contactinfos/

If Nokia did go along with your sensible suggestions then these devices might become as popular as the Apple iphone?! Do Nokia want that? 3 years down the line from the 770 & the new device still does not even have a Calendar!?
