Still missing

It’s amazing. I can’t’ find any software that lets me synchronize the tasks on my phone with anything else but Outlook. Since I use Thunderbird as my e-mail client, and haven’t even got Outlook installed as part of my Office package, I have no interest in synchronizing with Outlook what so ever. How come you can’t get anything else? Sony Ericsson supplied a few small programs with the phone, but that was only a filemanager, something for handling photos and a few other thingies that I had no use for. How come you get something to handle photos and files on a mobile phone? Yes, it has a camera, and yes, it has 40MB of storage, but what about all those other functions on the phone? How about something that can edit the address book, view and write text messages, and last but not least, update the darn tasks?!? What if I don’t need the use of the camera (I have a “normal” camera that works just fine, and has a better lens than the phone) the radio (I have my iPod) and all that other stuff, but just the small things that has been on every phone the last 3-4 years? All phones I’ve had the last few year have had a calendar, but no way of working with them, except through Outlook. The same goes for text messages and tasks. It really can’t be that difficult to write a small PIM application that can manage all the PIM functions in your phone. If you want to synchronize with Outlook, there can be an app for that, but please: just give me access to the bare basics! There is one program that has 90% of what I want, which is FMA. It lets me view and write text messages, work with whatever files I feel I need on my mobile (which can’t by the way do anything with them, unless it’s mp3s) and it lets me edit my address book. It lets me view my calendar, but I can’t add or change anything. I can see my notes, alarms and bookmarks, and some of them I can change, but the tasks are nowhere?!?! Doesn’t anyone but me need to have a todo/list of tasks on their mobile phone? I know, I can just write the stupid app instead of complaining about it being missing, but it takes less effort to complain than the code ;)
