[sync] Almost there?

[Jaz]

Could somebody point me to recent/needed updates in order to give this 
another go?

(Karsten -- if you're listening, then can you point out any special 
things you did to get sync working on a Sony Clie? I too am using a Clie 
-- mine is the PEG-SJ20)

The sync response I get in syncml_server_N.xml is below. PalmOS clients 
I'm trying are Sync4j and Synthesis, I have added (from CVS last week) 
the SyncML tree and the latest rpc.php; tho I haven't grabbed any 
special XML_WBXML library.  (which update should I use?)

Sync4j finnishes with a popup "Unexpected Error -- AddressDB", "Sync 
Failed"; and Synthesis gets the number of contacts and events but then 
shows "Invalid Data".

For testing I'm using SoftickPPP/NAT, which works fine in establishing 
an IP connection for the Clie. However, dialing up the Clie via a USB 
cable to my cell phone no longer works (not sure when that happened).

Since Kevin points out that the client's local database gets wiped 
before the sync, I'm going to stop testing with my Clie. Perhaps I can 
get my old Palm-V to connect to SoftickPPP via serial. Tho it would be 
better to just get a modern phone that fully supports SyncML. Any 
suggestions?

BTW, although I was looking to sync the Clie with horde, then sync Palm 
Desktop with the Clie, then sync Palm Desktop to the V60 (Truesync by 
Starfish), I'm now looking to replace my Clie & V60i with a 3G phone 
that can sync both calendar and contacts directly with horde. (And since 
I like Palm apps I had considered looking only a PalmOS-power phones, 
but that turns out to be too limiting.)  Can anyone suggest a nice 3G 
phone that has a nice calendar app? I will have to also link to my 
laptop via USB for mobile cellular dialup.

Thanks
Jaz
