I am trying to get a decent mapping of my Outlook contract fields into the contacts fields on the t68i. I am using XTNDConnectPC over IR to do it. I have tried changing the mappings in XTNDConnectPC settings and can see part of the address in the Title field on my phone. I guess there are length restrictions for the various fields on the t68i which stop me from seeing the full address record.
Has anyone else managed to do this successful, am I just being a muppet, can anyone help?
Thanks, J |

john, if you're mapping the outlook address 1 to the phone's title field then you're limited to 15 characters. |

Arnoldc,
thanks, had worked that out, was wondering if there are any longer fields avaiable, do you have a list of the field lengths on the phone.
Thanks John |

Also I forgot to say that I assume that the fields are typed, some only allowing numeric values, like Fax. Is there a listing/website that details the fields.

afaik,
Title = char(15)
Name = char(30)
Company = char(15)
Email = char(51)
Home, Work, Mobile, Fax, Other = numeric(31) |

arnoldc,
thats what I feared, so there is no way of doing what I want. I am a bit annoyed as the web sites I read prior to buying the t68 suggested you could synch outlook address book with phone. I had stupidly assumed this was going to allow me to use my phone in place of a PDA, but without some space for addresses I cant do that.
Oh well, its still a great phone, and at least I can give up my quest now!
Thanks, J |

Is this a final verdict?
No address fields in the phone book? 
For me, that's the only thing I need to ditch the PDA...
No tweaking possible of phonebook fields/fieldlengths?

Sadly this does seem to be the final answer, I have given up trying to get more than one line of the address and the postcode into the phone! |

So no extra fields, or adjustable fieldlengths in sight?
Doesn't really seem rocket science to me... just no Ericsson priority I guess
