Hi there,

I just got a brand new T610 and after getting a bluetooth dongle today I
couldn't help playing around with it, multisync+evo_plugin+irmc_plugin.

In the process I've come accross an issue that seems trivial by itself
but may turn out to be a real nightmare for owners of the same phone
(and possibly other phones from SE):

In my Evolution contacts I had one person whose name contained the
German "ß" (scharfes S, ß). When syncing this contact the phone
would freeze, reboot after a while and the freeze every time I wanted to
use a bluetooth-related function. Thankfully power-cycling the phone
gets things back to normal.

I took a look at what happens when the contact is synced and realized
the "ß" is encoded differently in the N: and FN: fields (I actually
saved the entries from the "localevolutionchanges" file, but the letter
encoding got mangled during cut&paste, why can't everything just be
UTF-8 and simply work?) once to a \337 and once two a sequence of two
escaped characters, the two-character sequence looked alright when
cat'ed in a gnome-terminal, the single-character was rendered as a
question mark.

I'd be happy to fix this myself and submit a patch, but it'd be helpful
if I could have a pointer to where I might look. I suspect it is the
evolution plugin that provides a faulty vcard, but I'm grateful for any
info that saves me reading all of the plugin source :)

Regards,
Eike
