One think I'm courious to understand is how will be possibile a contact sync and mapping from a rich flexible contacts model (maemo/nokia) and a rigid silly one (outlook).
Specially, one think I was never able to understand (and I deeply hate..) is the Outlook Contacts model. For example, how stupid can be the approch of having:
- phone1, phone2, phone3 fields
- email1, email2, email3 fields?
And if someone has 4 phone numbers or 4 emails addresses? I check this behaviour since long time, I must say that apple mac os, iphone, n900 approach is strongly more intelligent: you add an information if you have it and you can relate how many infos you want.In old device I remember this approach only in Nokia Communicator devices.
So my curiosity is, with this model mismatch, how will be possibile to sync a rich contact model like the one proposed in N900 with a preistoric model like Microsoft Outlook.
Of course I'm saying this because I'm scared of data loss or side effects.
What do you think/know about this?
thanks
