Sync with Mobile Device

[tj1520]

I have achieved the almost perfect installation of Intrepid!

I have a Vaio laptop VGN-FW235J w/Kubuntu 64bit.
Everything works including; my bluetooth keyboard and mouse.
Video works as long as I do not let the packages update the fix I found for 64 bit.

However, I would love to find out how to get this to sync to Kontact.
I have followed the instructions for setting up synce. I can get my HTC-6800 to connect. But the one final piece of the puzzle seems to be missing . . . libkcal2b and libkdepimla.

Anyone know how to get these packages? I have searched the forums and google but keep running into dead ends.

If not available yet; does anyone know if they are being worked on?

Any input would be appreciated!

As per the synce guide for ubuntu: http://www.synce.org/moin/SynceInsta...u/ModernDevice

Important note: You cannot sync your device to Kontact in KDE4. At the moment there is not a plugin available for OpenSync that will allow you to do so. You can only sync your device to KDE3.

For GUI front end of synce --> Synce-KPM

I also have been waiting to sync my HTC Elf with kontact

Have you tried wammu?

no, i havent heard of it. lets see...from the wammu website...

Wammu is mobile phone manager running on Linux, Windows and possibly other platforms, where Gammu and wxPython works. The communication is made by Gammu library. Currently supported features:
complete support (can read/edit/delete/copy) for contacts, todo, calendar
can read/create/save/send/backup smses
sending files to phone (OBEX and Sony Ericsson phones only)
sms composer for multi part smses (currently only text and predefined bitmap/sound can be edited)
display message including pictures and ringtones playback
support for backup and import in various formats (vCard, vCalendar, vTodo, iCalendar, gammu own backup,...)
export messages to mail (IMAP4, maildir and mailbox storages are supported)
searching for phone
translated into several languages
rated as best on many software servers

my main priority is for me to send/receive files to/frm the pc/phone. looks like wammu wont cut it. i am more interested with bluetooth transfers bcos most phones irrespective of make / model seem to have them. obex availability is often not even mentioned in the specs.
