Inclusion of a mobile management tool

[Viktor Nagy]

I definitely agree with Martin,

I just switched phone. Before I used wammu, and I've found it really good,
especially when my phone started to really break down, and it was hard to
write even a simple SMS, as in Wammu you can write it, BUT

Wammu exports and imports only his own formats, and even though you can
convert its backup to vcal/vcard it's really hard to find this info, and my
new phone isn't supported by wammu.

I have the feeling that opensync and its better integration is the right
approach, unfortunately I have found opensyc to be very unreliable for the
moment, or at least the plugins I wanted to use (like Gcal and SynCe for
example).

On the other hand it would be really nice to have proper mobil tools to
synchronize (and backup) calendar, mail and contacts.
