Yeah indeed. There's a distinction though between older Nokia phones (with
FBUS protocol support) and newer Nokia phones (Symbian based).
We, at gnokii, are thinking now what do to the best with the Symbian
phones. Newer phones are much richer in functionality then the older ones,
and gnokii concept as it is now needs some extension.

But as fas as I understand OpenSync goal is to design the protocol, and
these are rather technical issues.

I'd be happy to support OpenSync within libgnokii.
