Think it has to do with broken UTF-8 handling. On my desktop databases where stored in UTF-8. I exported the databases an could import them to the 770 only if I converted the CSV files to ISO8859-1 (and set the jpilot on the 770 correspondingly in the Preferences).
Still, I was only half joking: I don't use the 770 as an organizer, nor have I any intention of doing so. Clearly Nokia doesn't want anyone to use it as an organizer either, or they would have added the software; it's not exactly hard to do.
Besides, why and how would I use a 770 as an organizer? The thing doesn't even have a phone on board; it doesn't "do" alarms and it's bigger than a smartphone.
Rather than wasting time and resources on making the 770 a half-arsed Palm, I'd like to see more energy spent on getting it to work smoothly with existing smartphones, which are much better tooled out as organizers.
Ok, Karel, not everybody feels the same way you do. Not everybody possesses a smartphone either. I for one would feel uncomfortable keeping personal data on a phone. I'd rather keep my PIM data on an application that syncs with a desktop somehow.
I'm coming here after using an Axim (which was stolen). Not a fan of MS, but their PIM was incredible. Quite frankly, as much as I like the 770, the absence of basic PIM software is a major reason why I can't recommend it to many of my less geeky friends.
I am liking GPE more over time, but it's still missing several basic functions. (BTW, I filed a bug about the subject of this thread).
