New phone, new poll
I have got a Nokia N82. It is shiny. I haven't got the GPS to work yet though.
And I've got to transfer across all my contacts. By hand AFAICT. So now's a good time to make sure they're all up to date!
[Poll #1213234]
Update: I've now factory-wiped the original phone and given it to
lilithmagna, so I don't need tips on how to sync the address books thanks :-) I've saved a copy of the old address book in case of emergencies, but the only way I've got to extract numbers from it is a hex dump...

Then you can swap the arguments around somewhat. This seems not to work for multiple numbers per entry as in my Nokia 6310i, it only gets one of them. On the other hand, the Sony T610 exported numbers as Name/M and Name/H so there were no collisions.
I have a corresponding script using gsmsendsms which reads ~/.phonebook.* to send SMS from the laptop.
