I'll gladly accept a patch from anyone who wants to fix this in Barry. I may be able to take a look at it later this week, but if someone wants to make a go for the reward, speak up on the list, and dive right in. :-) For those interested in tackling this bug, there are notes in the TODO file: http://repo.or.cz/w/barry.git?a=blob;f=TODO;h=d9c1e35143764503dabc0ba5550140b7483360ef;hb=6da41ec99623f2c5993d7441bf7593885b59e5d2 Quoted: Fix i18n bug in current 0.22 opensync plugin -------------------------------------------- For some reason, contacts with international characters in the names do not come through properly during the sync. The names are truncated at the character. It appears consistent that the Blackberry uses the CP1252 charset, a.k.a. WINDOWS-1252, which is like ISO-8859-1, except that characters 0x80 to 0x9F are used as characters instead of escape codes. This knowledge needs to be passed on to opensync in the data format. This may be as simple as adding a proper charset field to the vCard data, but it definitely needs testing and a patch.
