Hi all.
I've got a Nokia N73 (UK spec) which I've rather painlessly connected up to my MacBook Pro, and used iSync to copy across my Address Book and Calendar.
Generally speaking, this was all a rather painless affair, and most funky.
There is one issue though... non-Western characters (Japanese to be precise). My phone only has Western fonts installed, so even though the phones OS supports unicode characters it won't display them.
So, I have two options available to me.
1. Hack the phone somehow to have Japanese fonts, and I've not been finding much useful info on that.
2. Customize what fields are synched when I use iSync. For example, in my contacts, as well as a First Name and Last Name field, there is a Phonetic First Name and Phonetic Last Name field (standard fields in Address Book). With my Western contacts, the Phonetic field is the same as the normal field. For my Japanese contacts, the Phonectic field is in Western script rather than Japanese. So, what would be great would be to tell iSync to use the Phonectic Name fields to sync across
So, can I do that?? There doesn't appear to be anything obvious in iSync itself.
Must admit I'm suprised. iSync is very easy to use at first, but seems to lack any real power (well, power that's easily accessible).
Cheers,
GT
