Hi Bojan,
The Blackberry appears to use the WINDOWS-1252 charset. When using the
command line tools, this charset data is passed straight through as raw
data.
I'm not sure which version of Barry you are using, but in the devel tree,
support for charset conversions, and specifically UTF-8, have been added to
the opensync plugin as well as the command line tools. For example, you
can convert Blackberry address book data to UTF-8 with the following command
line:
btool -d "Address Book" -i UTF-8
I would be curious to know if this works for you, with Croatian characters.
The opensync plugin, again in the devel tree for now, converts to UTF-8 before
sending the data to the opensync framework. This has so far received a bit
of testing, but more testing is always welcome.
If you could try the latest devel tree, and report back, that would be great.
If you still get the 0x41/0x40 error, please add the -v option to the above
btool command and send the matching output (at least the last few packets).
