Having had a couple of weeks to familiarize myself with the Nokia N900 and having spent some time configuring and tweaking, I decided it was probably about time to initiate some kind of backup procedure.

The Nokia N900 is a fantastic device and has completely surpassed my expectations of what a "hand held" device can do. It's amazing how much functionality has been crammed into this 'phone'.... however there is one small issue I am not impressed with: The N900 comes with PC Syncing software but it's for Windows! - Apparently, you simply connect the supplied USB cable, select the appropriate option on the phone ("PC Suite Mode") and install the relevant software on your Windows PC. What? If I wanted to sync with Windows, I would have bought a Windows Mobile based device.... I don't, so I didn't. As I use Linux on all of my computers, I have no use for the included software.
