On this Forum you see many requests for a genuin BT car kit protocol to be able to use the phonebook. Most cars like Volkwagen and Ford can't receive Vcards, so there is no work-around. See for example:

I would love to see a working PBAP (Phonebook Access Profile) bluetooth profile to be able to use the N900 with my car.

I guess this might be a feature that others might need too.

Thanks for the response,

lots of great ideas, I think ill do a fake call app first, shouldn't take too long and that way ill get an insight into how programming on the n900 works and it shouldn't take too long either.. A configurable widget on the desktop..

I can program in c,c++ and python, what do you guys reckon will be the most comfortable to use?.

The application manager idea sounds brilliant as well, I would think its a good idea to work on a team for that.

As for the idea regarding using the n900 with a car sounds good, but I wouldn't have any way to test that.

Anyways, will shortlist and start as soon I'm done with my exams

Thanks :)

Could someone perhaps create an app that could block calls and messages from certain numbers, so perhaps numbers could be put into categories. The call would still come through but the phone would not ring and therefore the user would not be able to pick the call up.

A few examples would be a work category, with a setting to block calls after 5pm the person who phoned would still hear a dial tone but I as the user would not know of the call, thereby not feeling guilty etc.

If I went on a stag do or something I would prefer not to be able to answer calls from my parents as another example. Does anyone think this would be a good app?
