I have a Treo600 (which I like as a phone/organiser). I have just got a Nokia E71 and need to get the data from Treo/Palm Desktop -> Nokia/PCsuite. Unfortunately I am currently also Windows-hobbled as a primary machine for these things, which can be more restrictive in many cases (particularly with respect to freely available functional-but-not-so-pretty software). Nokia PC suite will only "import" from other nokia phones, and so it looks like using Outlook as a conduit is the only option (I'm hoping outlook express may be "the only option" - I don't want to have to pay Microsoft lots of money for 10minutes use of a horrible application). When time permits I will be taking a look to see if any Linux (or perhaps Apple-Mac) based apps will actually do what I want. The reason for choosing the Nokia E71 was because it's symbian-based and so should be able to multitask (better than the PalmOS-based Treo which can't, unfortunately), and it has a useable keyboard for things like ssh, etc. I also have friends that have and like the E71. My other choice would have been Nokia 9300i. I'll also be on the lookout for a decent encrypting program on the nokia (like "strip" on PalmOS - free AES encryption password app that I heartily recommend!) I’m interested how this goes.
