Bald.
Pulling my hair out.
I have the new Nokia N80 and it’s very advanced, and so for the first time I am considering using the phone as my primary organizer instead of my palm. I LOVE MY PALM, I have a Sony Clie UX50 which I’ve considered bying extras of because it is the ultimate perfect pda.
But I need to lighten my purse (tech bag, really) cuz I’m having wrist problems. As it is I take two bags to the car, one that stays in the car and has things I use in the car but don’t necessarily need w/ me inside places, such as my “liability camera” (*), my ipod, my umbrella (it rains every day in summer here), etc.
But anyway, the Palm OS will only export the calendar as a .dba file.
The Nokia PC Suite will only sync w/ the calendars of Lotus Organizer and Outlook.
So I don’t want to buy Outlook just to convert one file and never to use it again.
So far I’ve tried Yahoo’s IntelliSync (which created a .csv file) for Yahoo Calendar to sync my palm w/ Yahoo Calendar. Yahoo Calendar will THEN export to Outlook, but again, not sure I want to install Outlook.
IntelliSync worked great.
I can log into Yahoo Calendar using the very advanced web browser on the phone, but that’s a million extra steps that I don’t want to do in a hurry.
I tried importing the .csv file into Google Calendar, and Google Calendar said it was formatted wrong.
So I have a .dba file that Nokia won’t use and a .csv file that is broken and I don’t think Nokia would use anyway, and I don’t have (and am not sure I even want to install) Outlook or Lotus.
Therefore, I am going nuts.
(*) I always have at least one camera w/ me and I like to put the DXG 506v on the dashboard when driving in my neighborhood for several reasons: a) kids playing in a dangerous manner in the streets, b) psycho neighbor and his buddies who have been road-raging me since the last neighborhood annua1 meeting.
