Re: KDEPIM on Ubuntu 10.04

Contacts are huge for me.  Linking contacts is the reason I use a PIM. 
Anyone have a an update on how well this is working.

On a side note: I have a DroidX and would love to link that up to my 
netnook.  How do you link/sync them?

I'm happy with my Droid but I was hoping that I could use my Linux 
skills with it.  It blew me away that it essentially uses none of the 
standard Linux tools.
