Birthday Age Reminder...

3 replies · 2,938 views · Started 23 October 2007

I use the S60 Active Standby screen that nicely shows my calendar events, however is there a plugin for the standby screen that specifically show up and coming birthdays and how old some is or how long they have been married based on the "Birthday" and "Anniversary" fields that are configurable under Outlook contacts?

Thanks

I have been using BBirthday for that. BBirthday cathces up the birthdate recorded on your contacts, and you can generate calendar records automatically from the BBirthday UI.

Poblem for me is that I can't get the sync from outlook to contacts on phone to sync correctly. The birthday on the contacts is typically moved to the day before the contacts birthday.

I am using Mail for Exchange to sync my contacts - suppose the problem is generated by the wifi sync throught MFE.

I am using norwegian language on my phone.

Anyone else experienced this moving of birthdates?

Maybe it's a time zone issue (bug)?

Oddly enough - some of the contacts syncs correctly, but most don't. I have not been able to understand any pattern...
