I like have the same data on my PDA and my cell phone. In my case, I
need to have the data in my [[SonyEricssonT68i.html][SonyEricssonT68i]] and my PalmTungstenCee.

I have therefore written a tiny Perl script to convert my [[http://www.jpilot.org][J-Pilot]] data
into a format understood my [[http://www.gnokii.org/][Gnokii]] so that I could copy my address
book to my phone.

[[../12/pdb2gnokii][pdb2gnokii]] is fairly simple. It walks through the PDB and prints to
stdout lines that can be fed to =gnokii --writephonebook=.

It was originally limited to Gnokii, but can now output format that
[[http://www.mwiacek.com/gsm/soft/gammu.html][Gammu]] and [[LinuxT610.html][t616hack]] understand.

You can restrict the categories processed by passing parameters to it.

It tries to be clever in order to show all numbers when one contact
has several phone numbers, e.g. one home phone number and two work
phone numbers. This works for a [[SonyEricssonT68i.html][SonyEricssonT68i]] as the T68i's agenda
knows different types of phones. I don't know if it would work for any
other.

pdb2gnokii.
