You are correct, Martin's log indicates "tidying up pm" (guessing power management) and other small changes.

hey i am really excited about this android project for the vogue! i have been installing every build released here lately. i was just wondering if we have a guess on a time frame for it to be complete with contacts and SD card functionality, and everything else the current build lacks. Also do you guys think Android will be made into a rom for the vogue? Thanks to everyone for their awesome work on this project, it has came so far! I was just curious about a guess on a completion time frame.....

Uh I'd give it 4 weeks, then another 1-2 weeks for further tweaking/optimization (for our device). Contacts can currently be synced Funambol. Def exciting stuff though I agree.

It's a sync client. They have various versions including ones for Outlook, Windows Mobile and Android. Basically, download the client for Outlook or Window Mobile, and it will sync to an only account through funambol. After that, download the *.apk funambol application and load it into android. Android will be able to pull all your contacts off the server that you had originally sync your contacts to (from your outlook or from your device)

the only problem i find with Funambol is that it doesnt sync all my contacts... it says it does but when i go to a few people, they arent there, and yes i have tried multiple sync's.. i think it might have to do with email addresses

Hmm, not sure.

I tried syncing mine off of my WinMo but i had too many contacts and it kept freezing. I usually sync my WinMo with my Outlook on my desktop, so i downloaded the Outlook plugin and sync'd from there.

Maybe try that? The contacts that don't sync, do they have a full name (First AND Last name filled in?)
