Symbian UIQ and Series 80: Projekt
R. Emory Lundberg | Jan 14 2006
I've been having a lot of success with managing my action lists in an application called Projekt. The pros: Writes nice outlines, easy to read and use. The cons: No syncronization with desktop I've been liking it so far. It means that my action lists aren't in iCal by default, but that seems to be okay so far, since iCal isn't granular enough for GTD in most circumstances anyway. You can create a top-level "task" on a per-project basis and check off the micro-tasks in your list, which means you can get a nice glance at the Tasks application to see what your overall projects are. Not too shabby. Could be better. This is probably the best way to do GTD on Symbian devices, but there is no Series 60 port. http://www.symbianone.com/content/view/2548/ 6 Comments

 Update: The Series 80 version...Submitted by emory on January 17, 2006 - 7:44pm.
Update: The Series 80 version does permit you to "sync" task status against list items in Projekt. Leet. I would imagine the reason the UIQ version lacks this is because of limitations in UIQ, but I could be wrong. »
I have request status sync...Submitted by emory on February 9, 2006 - 7:34am.
I have request status sync on the UIQ version of Projekt to bring it in-line with the Series 80 features of the application. My S80 device is a loaner so I can't rely on it or buy a license for projekt on S80. If only the 9500 didn't cost $600! Anyway, here's the thread on the author's webpage: »
In that thread on kylom...Submitted by emory on February 26, 2006 - 3:13pm.
In that thread on kylom is a build that does the status sync. Pretty sweet. Developer turned it around quickly and now my master lists are updated against Tasks information on my P910. I should outline this process that I use for GTD and will try to do so soon. »

Sure 'nuff!Submitted by emory on December 12, 2007 - 9:59am.
I happily bought it for my e61i, but I’ve been back on my n95 most of the time these days. That’s the bummer about mobile software. You usually get a license locked to one IMEI. Sigh. Thanks for the s60 build though, Kylom. It’s solid. »
MobileGTD implementation for Series 60 phonesSubmitted by Nightscape on December 29, 2007 - 4:55pm.
I have written a GTD application for S60 phones. It's called MobileGTD and can be found on It's very GTD centric and does not have a lot of extra functionality, but it does its job very well. Here is the description from the web page: MobileGTD turns your Series 60 phone into a GTD notebook on steroids * Based on a simple file and directory structure (easy synchronization with PC) »
