Contacts Birthday Detail

5 replies · 3,440 views · Started 15 June 2006

In a contact we can add up birthday detail, can this birthday be in the calendar automatically? How to do so?

So we don�t have to key in twice in the calendar.

I know 1 way 2 "solve" this problem.
It's more a workaround...

Microsoft Outlook doesn't have this problem.
So if U sync your mobile phone with Outlook (2times),
all the Contacts Birthday Details are updated in
the calander...

Sinking with laptop is easy, and....I like the software better than smartphones with a windows os. Once you get the hang of it, you'll like it better than Activesync that's for sure.

A friend of mine recently bought an e61 but he told me that the sync software doesn't copy the Note (or Body) field from the Outlook calendar or Tasks.

Is that right? It would be deal killer for me if its true.

xerxes - sadly your friend is correct. Not so much a problem with the sync software though, notes/memos in the calendar and tasks are just not supported. A great phone but the calendar/PIM is very weak and currently though is no alternative.
