Which is true. What the page does not mention, is the fact that I've 
successfully transferred all contacts on a SE P910i, via the Sync4J 
server, to the BBDB. Got problems with encoding of norwegian characters, 
which seems to be an Emacs issue, and I never really understood emacs 
encoding...  If I remeber correctly, I also had some rudimentary support 
for deletions and updates, but not very robust - a failed sync would 
lead to duplicates...

This was just to bring the CVS synced with latest updates in my local 
copy, as I got a private request for the status of the project. I 
haven't worked on it for over a year. As I now have a Qtek phone (which, 
afaik, does not support syncml) at work, and mainly use Thunderbird 
instead of Gnus privately, I have no real motivation for continuing this 
project. But if anyone dares to give it a shot, I'll at least try to 
answer some emails.
