Propably. Please email the complete error from the compiler.

Indeed. KnokiiSync knows nothing LDAP, this is completely KAB related.

If the contacts in the phone are stored using plain English, then use 
ISO8859-1. Else, you must experiment to find out which is the correct 
encoding for you. Check your locale.

Also, make sure that you have selected the proper memory type. In most 
cases, you should selecr "Phone" (this is when you only use the phone's 
memory).

I would personally recommend that you get a USB bluetooth dongle. Using 
bluetooth, my entire phonebook is read in about 3 seconds (60 entries). 
Using a cable, you might see times up to 1 second per entry.

Hold on, you'll make it eventually :-)
