Tracking the Nokia E61

If you're like me, you're checking sites like Nokia E61 going to be released, as in ship... actually arrive... at my door...

Well, as you probably read on announced today that it has started to ship!

So, I invite you to post here if you find it in stock... I'll do the same, ok?

Please include the site and the price, thanks!

Task sync

I have the E61. Great little phone it is too, especially when combined with the iSync plugin for it.

kGTD sync works nicely - create next actions/tasks, whatever in kGTD, sync to iCal (with different calendars for each context), then iSync to E61. On the E61, they become a flat last of todo items, which is fine, and expected, based on the prior discussions here.

However....

If I mark a task on the E61 as completed, then do an iSync, then kGTD sync, the task is marked completed on the E61 and in iCal. But not in kGTD.

If I remove the completed mark in iCal, and then re-mark as completed, kGTD picks it up as completed, as does the E61.

If I mark the task completed in kGTD, iCal gets it as completed, as does the E61.

So, there's something about the way in which the phone marks things as completed that's preventing kGTD sync. Anyone found this?

Tip: In iSync, tell it to put items created on the phone in "Inbox", then kGTD sucks them all into the Inbox, you can sort, assign to projects, contexts, etc, then sync back later.

Cranking

Merlin used to crank. He’s not cranking any more.

This is an essay about family, priorities, and Shakey’s Pizza, and it’s probably the best thing he’s written. »

Scared Shitless

Merlin’s scared. You’re scared. Everybody is scared.

This is the video of Merlin’s keynote at Webstock 2011. The one where he cried. You should watch it. »
