Hi all!

I'm a heavy user of mobile phones, and I have a W600i. Lastest firmware instaled, unlocked and not personalized.

I have this phone for 6 months, and this month my phone give me a "surprise": the Organizer is full! I can't believe this! How a excellent phone like W600 have an limit like this?

How I can get rid of this? Anyway to "integrate" the Organizer in shared memory (like Siemens)?

Another annoying thing: in Phonebook some usefull fields have a limit of 25 characters only. Yes, 25. Try to write "Research Triangle Park, North Carolina, 27709 " (address of SE) in address field. You simple can't.

Anyway to solve this?

Thanks!

Us abbreviations. Even the best Software cannot fix Hardware limitations.

I don't think so. In the past I have used a SonyEricsson T60d, another excellent phone, and the organizer don't have such limitations. This phone is very simple, it is TDMA, monophonic, monocromatic and big. It phonebook can save up to 5 numbers, but no mails and adresses (but for the age of this phone, it was very, very good!)

Another simpler and newer phone without these limitations is Siemens CX65. Ok, it's another manufacturer, but SE must take attention about this...

I can't understant why a simple phone like T60d or CX65 don't have limitations, and a newer and best phones like W800, W810, K750 and W600 have.

Thanks! See you soon!

Maybe there's a way, but I can't test (my phone is dead).

There is a file called CONTACTS.XLM in \TPA\SYNCMLDS folder.

In this file exists these lines:
<prop id="NOTE" size="50"/>
<prop id="ADR"/>

By logic, if we change these lines to:
<prop id="NOTE" size="120"/>
<prop id="ADR"/ size="120">

Maybe the address and notes fields use 120 chars instead 50 and 25.

Can anyone try this?

You can use FAR or PhoneXS to upload the file, here is the modified:
<ctcaps>

<cttype id="text/x-vcard">
<ver id="2.1"/>
<prop id="BEGIN"/>
<enum>VCARD</enum>
<prop id="END"/>
<enum>VCARD</enum>
<prop id="VERSION"/>
<enum>2.1</enum>
<prop id="N" size="60"/>
<prop id="TEL" size="80"/>
<occur id="5"/>
<notruncate/>
<param id="TYPE"/>
<enum>WORK</enum>
<enum>FAX</enum>
<enum>HOME</enum>
<enum>CELL</enum>
<prop id="NOTE" size="120"/>
<prop id="ADR"/ size="120">
<occur id="2"/>
<param id="TYPE"/>
<enum>HOME</enum>
<enum>WORK</enum>
<prop id="EMAIL" size="50"/>
<occur id="3"/>
<notruncate/>
<param id="TYPE"/>
<enum>INTERNET</enum>
<prop id="ORG" size="30"/>
<prop id="TITLE" size="15"/>
<prop id="URL" size="120"/>
<prop id="BDAY"/>
</cttype>

<cttype id="text/vcard">
<ver id="3.0"/>
<prop id="BEGIN"/>
<enum>VCARD</enum>
<prop id="END"/>
<enum>VCARD</enum>
<prop id="VERSION"/>
<enum>3.0</enum>
<prop id="N" size="30"/>
<prop id="TEL" size="80"/>
<occur id="5"/>
<notruncate/>
<param id="TYPE"/>
<enum>WORK</enum>
<enum>FAX</enum>
<enum>HOME</enum>
<enum>CELL</enum>
<prop id="NOTE" size="120"/>
<prop id="ADR"/ size="120">
<occur id="2"/>
<param id="TYPE"/>
<enum>HOME</enum>
<enum>WORK</enum>
<prop id="EMAIL" size="50"/>
<occur id="3"/>
<notruncate/>
<param id="TYPE"/>
<enum>INTERNET</enum>
<prop id="ORG" size="30"/>
<prop id="TITLE" size="15"/>
<prop id="URL" size="120"/>
<prop id="BDAY"/>
</cttype>

</ctcaps>

And here is the original:
<ctcaps>

<cttype id="text/x-vcard">

<prop id="BEGIN"/>
<enum>VCARD</enum>
<prop id="END"/>
<enum>VCARD</enum>

<prop id="N" size="30"/>
<prop id="TEL" size="80"/>
<occur id="5"/>
<notruncate/>
<param id="TYPE"/>
<enum>WORK</enum>
<enum>FAX</enum>
<enum>HOME</enum>
<enum>CELL</enum>
<prop id="NOTE" size="50"/>
<prop id="ADR"/>
<occur id="2"/>
<param id="TYPE"/>
<enum>HOME</enum>
<enum>WORK</enum>
<prop id="EMAIL" size="50"/>
<occur id="3"/>
<notruncate/>
<param id="TYPE"/>
<enum>INTERNET</enum>
<prop id="ORG" size="30"/>
<prop id="TITLE" size="15"/>
<prop id="URL" size="120"/>
<prop id="BDAY"/>
</cttype>

<cttype id="text/vcard">
<ver id="3.0"/>
<prop id="BEGIN"/>
<enum>VCARD</enum>
<prop id="END"/>
<enum>VCARD</enum>
<prop id="VERSION"/>
<enum>3.0</enum>
<prop id="N" size="30"/>
<prop id="TEL" size="80"/>
<occur id="5"/>
<notruncate/>
<param id="TYPE"/>
<enum>WORK</enum>
<enum>FAX</enum>
<enum>HOME</enum>
<enum>CELL</enum>
<prop id="NOTE" size="50"/>
<prop id="ADR"/>
<occur id="2"/>
<param id="TYPE"/>
<enum>HOME</enum>
<enum>WORK</enum>
<prop id="EMAIL" size="50"/>
<occur id="3"/>
<notruncate/>
<param id="TYPE"/>
<enum>INTERNET</enum>
<prop id="ORG" size="30"/>
<prop id="TITLE" size="15"/>
<prop id="URL" size="120"/>
<prop id="BDAY"/>
</cttype>

</ctcaps>

Good luck!

Unfortunately, it didn't work. It looks the xml file is only for establishing sync vcard format. I have also looked up the whole phone and couldn't find any other "suspicious" file. Field lengths must be defined in a binary file.

If someone has a clue, let me know and I'll test it.
