As I said, phones like Nokia 6630 and Nokia N73 (and many others, likely) allow to change at user's pleasure the names of the predifined labels: e.g., I can change `Home phone' into `Wife's phone', or `Business address' into `Eyes colour'. The only synchronisation program I know that's able to save and then re-write on the phone those information is MS Windows' Oxygen Phone Manager. I'm wondering if there's something similar in the Linux world. Opensync does not have that feature, so I had a look at bbdb. The information included in those modified labels may be important for some people, and a synchronization that loses them may not be very useful for those people. So, my question is: 1) can those labels be preserved in a synchronization with bbdb? 2) is synchronization with bbdb possible also with phones or only with palms? 3) how does it work with palms themselves? I couldn't find any explanation at http://syncbbdb2.sourceforge.net/ about how to do the sync.
