There is some sort of “hackish” feeling about managing cellular phone functions you should be proud of being one of those few clever geeks who won the game.

Believe me: I’m skilled in computers, but nontheless I had to study and study to just begin to understand how to sort the things out. However, if you aren’t lucky, you will waste days in trying to make them work with your specific phone/cable/adapter/port configuration, before giving up. They are discreet, as they can be launched only when needed they can be used under Linux, and they are able to talk (with various success levels) with many brands of cellular phones.
#VCARD EDITOR GNU INSTALL#
Even worse, if you try to install a second phone manager (because your phones are from different makes, or even different generations of the same producer), you’ll have big fun watching conflicts in accessing communication ports and resources, not to mention having two more programs sitting idle while eating your always-not-enough RAM, waiting for a connection to come (eventually).Ī more clever option would be trying to use a single "general pourpose" open source cellular managing software, for all of them there are a few, like gnokii, gammu, or gsmlib. Having a master, up-to-date copy of your phonebook, you need to transfer it to your “slave” devices but if you try to install on your PC the programs shipped with your cellular phone, chances are you’ll turn your PC in a sort of an expensive accessory for your phone: your system will be filled everywhere with new options, new popups and new devices with fancy icons. Second: export to your cellular(s) phonebook This is the first step to the peace of mind now you just need to export your address book (from your desktop PIM program), and import it on your phone which it not guaranteed to be easy or flawless. So, just remember never to save a new number on the phone (it’s not a big limitation, as usually it is less practical to write something with phone's "keyboard"). This will be the “master” address/phone book to (regularly) overwrite that on your phone (s). It could sound too compelling, but it worths doing so, and in facts it will gratly ease your life: begin to manage your address book only on the desktop or the handheld (you can do it on both, as they update each other).
Keeping in sync two or more cellular phones with an handheld and a desktop computer is close to a nightmare, if you don’t adopt some rules. Maybe you (like me) have a cellular phone, an handheld computer, and also carry a "backup" cellular phone, of a different brand maybe your wife syncs her handheld and cellular phone (another brand!) with the same computer.
