Hello.


Recently I’ve got Nokia n900. Although it is not a brand new phone these days I decided to give it a try and see if it is better than Motorola Milestone (Droid).

I read ‘Getting Things Done’ book and have tried to implement this idea in my life. (I like it).

So I realised the idea behind to-do lists and I’m trying to use it as much as I can. I decided to choose KDE PIM as my to-do lists/Calendar/etc.
Now all my tasks are stored on my PC. Not quite mobile way to cope with them.

What I am after is a means to sync them (mainly tasks and calendar) with my n900/Maemo.

I have very rudimentary knowledge how to do it: I know that it must be a middle ware — a software between PC and my mobile – namely – server.
The problem is not with lack of this kind of software but with accessibility for customary user.
I don’t have knowledge and frankly speaking I can’t run my own server. I would like to either purchase a subscription or if it is possible to use a free account.

I know there is Kolab by KDE developers, there is egroupware and such.
What I don’t know is how and where I can subscribe/buy/rent/etc. an account.

Could you help me and tell me how I can make better use of my n900, syncing it with my desktop Kontact?


Thanks in advance!


ps
Please don’t tell me about Google – I don’t want to use it.

Hej,
I also would like to sync my n900. Up to now I read about setting up a funambol-server for syncing, but I did not want to invest a lot of time to setting it up.
I think this years' google summer of code does include a project to implement an easy-to-use way. I am hopefully looking forward to that.

Hallo!


My ‘internet acquaintance’ syncs his n900 with egroupware. He told me there is no problem with tasks, calendar. What he hasn’t tried is contacts.
He has a private account on his university.

As I wrote the problem is not with availability of servers. There are plethora of them and I am sure they are fantastic and on the other hand, open source.
The problem is with the remainder – the eco system around them.

I am sad that even though Kolab server is known among KDE users (I suppose so), there is lack of providers delivering it – both commercially and for free to some extent (as with Ubuntu one).

As an example I’ll give GIT VCS – it is very known open source solution. And there are numerous providers providing services. I am sure you heard about Github, didn’t you?
So *it is* possible.

Sorry for griping about it.
Positive note is that, there will be OwnCloud accounts available for those who can’t run their own server.
