I want a calendar that I can edit on my iphone, or on my home computer, or have one of my co-workers edit on their computer, and they all sync up. mobileme and ical shared calendars doesn’t let you edit each others calendars, only subscribe to them. After much experimenting I found the best way to sync your calendars with the iphone and other ical based co-workers is through Google calendar as follows:
Basically you:
1. Set up a new calendar in google, then use calaboration (a little application from google) to get the settings into ical.
2. Sync your calendar to the iphone using Nuevasync. You set it up in iphone as a Microsoft Exchange server that points to Nuevasync. You can sync directly form google to iphone but all the calendars come across as one calendar. Neuvasync keeps the individual calendars with their own colors.
3. To choose which colors the calendars are on the iphone, you need to enable them one at a time from neuvasync, checking the iphone calendar each time, and they will import into the iphone in order of the following colors: red (first calendar) , orange (2nd) , blue, green then purple. eg the first calendar you enable will be red, and so on.

The Optus D736 I think is a Bird D736.
1. Download and run this driver from here.
2. Put a memory card in the phone.
3. Plug in the phone and post a comment here if it works, or if you have to change some settings on the phone. (I have not tested on the bird phone).

Well, I’m on a bit of a run here with my new samsung D900 mobile phone, the latest being what are the best settings to compress a movie to watch on my phone. The phones resolution is 320×240, which I think is similar to an ipod. I use Handbrake to encode DVD’s, you can also use these settings to export from Quicktime pro, but Handbrake is free.

Well it seems that OSX won’t recognise any Samsung phones. A bit disappointing given their TV adds on how Macintosh is friendly with everything! I rang Samsung and they said ‘we don’t support macintosh’
So to get my samsung D900i working on OSX I had to do this: (I’m not suggesting you do it for whatever reasons like you might sue me if it doesn’t work, but it worked for me).

Well so far I’ve worked out:
BROADBAND INTERNET
You need broadband with at least 128Kbps UPLINK speed, but to work well you really need 256.
Eg 512/128 is too SLOW.
1500/256 is OK.
1500/512 is GOOD.
