Hereby I would like to state my support to the petition for enabling synchronization of Nokia phones' contacts and calendar with widepread (also in enterprise environment) products of Mozilla (Thunderbird/Lightning/Sunbird).

I am from India and I too support this petition.

I also support this development. To not do so is saying all Nokia users must use Microsoft software which is an extraordinarily arrogant statement considering how poor MS security is.

Nokia has Mac support, so that doesn't really stand.

Though security flaws in Outlook have been relatively low. Thunderbird has had plenty of security flaws too, just less publicity.

It is extraordinary, given present day market conditions, that I can't access Nokia software using a Mac Intel computer. I was unaware of this when I bought my 6230 'phone, assuming - reasonably I think - that all major mobile producers would now be providing Mac compatible software.  Had I known that Nokia didn't, I would have bought a different company' product. even though I consider Nokia's to be excellent 'phones. 

What is so difficult about developing Mac compatible software? After all, I am told that Linux users can access it.  Why not Mac?  I assume that there is no commercial reason, such as a tie-up with Microsoft?

So let's ask Nokia - how about it?  I don't want to buy a competitor's mobile 'phone, but I will if Nokia don't solve this problem.  I think many Mac users are in this position, and they are increasing in numbers. It's not just Stephen Fry that uses Mac !

The existing PC Suite doesn't run on a Mac, but it's old software designed for Windows (at a push it can work on linux I guess with Wine but that's not a native solution). That doesn't mean you can't hook up a Nokia with a Mac and do the key things PC Suite would provide anyway.

You can use Apple's iSync on a Mac to sync contacts and calendar on Nokia phones, and there is already Nokia software to do file transfers. There are other things possibly in the works. They are committed to supporting Mac users from what I'm aware of. http://europe.nokia.com/mac

Speaking of other manufacturers, my experience of certain big names has been they have very little software even on Windows PCs, or make you pay for it! Windows Mobile excepted of course, as it's a platform with plenty of support in Windows.

I support

[glimpo69]

Please support Thunderbird as PIM

[juanchojf]

yes, I join to petition too..

I was looking for a nokia movile phone but i cant to buy it, It's pity for nokia phones to be microsoft phones, linux users cant to access for nokia phones simply for no syncing software,  bearing in mind that syncing is the most important feature of the new phones, lynux users have to look for sony,ericson phones!

Another petitioner from Australia ............

I like my nokia E71 but really need it to sync with thunderbird directly. I have tried so many online servers to sync E71 but my entries get messed up with daylight saving changes.

I would really like to see PC suite support for Thunderbird contacts/cals and notes....

Thanks,

Bhrugu

I think our petition is unnotice... Perhaps we should send emails directly to the developers, at least one per day from each of us!

[kaljamaha]

A very good petition for pc suite thunderbird/lightning support. In the end it is people who are using the phones, not the companies. And more common people are finding their way to smartphones and their use in everyday life. So this is also a marketing issue, because in private people are using quite a lot firefox-thunderbird style solutions. It has been recently in newpaper articles that nokia has problems with selling smartphones. I love my e71, but if they in nokia

are totally forgetting users, people are moving towards other solutions.

Please dear mr & mrs Nokia. Please add Thunderbird and Sunbird to the sync list to Nokia PC Suite!

Did I mention: Please!

[mafig]

I have a new e75 and I was surprised by not beeing able to synch with Mozilla Thunderbird/Lightning.

Count me in the petition.

[elarson]

As an E71 owner, I would also like to see a sync with Mozilla Thunderbird/Lightning.

I manage to sync my n95 with gmail (only contacts at the moment - google mobile). Gmail is snyced with Thunderbird with us of Zindus app. Evrything is working as it should only problem i had were contacts with more then one word in name or surname field. Nokia automaticly assume that middle words are middle names. I manualy repaired  those contacts on phone and now all bases are correct (tb, gmail, phone contacts). I am now waiting for options from google to sync my events and calender. Oh snyc between phone and gmail need to be activated  manualy.

This thread is over 2 years old now, so it's pretty obvious that Nokia are not a bit interested in user feed-back - they haven't even responded. But just in case - I also support this petition for my new E63.

Thanks

[christobal]

I just realised today that there's no way to synk my new e71 with my thunderbird mail :-(

And since it's easier for med to change phone than to change email client I'd probably go for another phone.

[janinge]

Not that i think Nokia is listing, but i support this petition also.

[benmonson]

I would like to add my support.

Please Nokia can you support Mozilla's Thunderbird and Lightning. 

Please can you provide a response detailing Nokia's position on the matter.

I have enjoyed all my Nokia phones however, this issue is likely to be a deal breaker.

[ladis]

Just got my new E51 and would like to sync to Thunderbird contacts - Please provide some support for the many Thunderbird users Nokia.
