RTM for Symbian S60 phones

juwlz says:
RTM has apps for Blackberry and iPhone already. However, although these devices are popular in the US, there is a HUGE user base of Symbian S60 smartphones worldwide - much larger than iPhone+Blackberry.

Google (and related 3rd parties) is really good at producing S60 apps so that I have good phone-friendly access to Google Mail, Calendar, Maps, etc. on my device. However, my only interface to RTM is via the website ... which I don't like using even on a PC, so I simply don't use it. (I find the gMail gadget far friendlier on the PC.)

I'd really love an RTM for Symbian app (for S60 3rd and 5th edition phones), and I don't suppose I'm the only potential user.

Is there any chance of such an app in 2009?

This would definitely make me spring for a Pro account, if I haven't managed to resist the urge before it arrives ..

I use the Mobile version of RTM a lot .. but a local copy on my N95 would be brilliant! :)

Hi,

We are doing a RTM sync application for S60 in a scholastic "senior design" class. We're wrapping up (with about one week to go) before the class is over and then we will have ownership of the source (since we didn't use any of the school's equipment/resources to develop).

Right now our key is just for development purposes - so we can't sell/give-away yet, and I don't want to risk anything that has our key pulled right before we get our class credit! Need this for graduation :).

But we have contacted RTM asking if they are interested, or would be willing to allow us to deploy (no response yet) - some of the features include

1. Offline Access (syncs to native PIM DB)
2. Background Polling for changes (user editable)
3. Disable sync when battery falls below 15%
4. Syncs task name, due date, priority, and groups (are working on more)
5. Syncs your locations as GPS bookmarks to the phone.
6. Syncs changes both ways
7. Filters completed tasks from the phone (S60 has issues with storage and completed tasks)
8. Custom UI for viewing overdue, high priority, and date ranges (today, next week, next month, etc...).
8. Support for 3.1,3.2,5.0 platforms
9. Tested on E75, E63, E71 and 5800. We plan to also certify the N97.

Right now it is a J2ME application so we have limited UI, though we thought about switching this to WRT technology (S60 supported - really cool UI stuff), but we would have to keep the sync engine in some other language so that the key is protected.

The jar file is also not java verified since we're students and don't really have the income to sign. So even if we could deploy right now, it wouldn't happen today.

End of april :). Like I mentioned we have about 4 guys, spend a good amount of time on this so I'd hate to see it just get buried. We're just waiting for RTM to get back to us and discuss the future of this app.

After looking around at the few options that are out there to replace Nokia's standard calendar for the E71 I have come to the conclusion that it is all shite and that I should support the above mentioned app to get RTM on my S60 phone.
Please.....RTM, move on this

I also really would like to see an app which enables me to sync my tasks with RTM and my Nokia device.

So please RTM get in touch with the students and release this software.

@rtms60j2me
Did you already get a feedback from RTM?

If not I'm asking myself why RTM is not interested in such a good idea?

Moreover I'm rethinking if it was the right decision to go pro at RTM because I cannot understand why there is still no application for Symbian when looking at the big thread here at RTM.

@rtms60j2me

Thanks for your feedback on this.

I don't know why RTM is not interested in getting a Symbian application for the product.
Moreover I don't understand why there is no official statement on this topic by RTM except the short answer of krissy dated 26th Feb 2009.

"Symbian accounted for 49.3 per cent of worldwide smartphone operating systems (OS) market share in the first quarter of 2009"

It doesn't make much business sense to cut yourself off from 50% of your potential mobile customer base (read: potential revenue)

You should contact Nokia direcly. Talk with NTI (Nokia Technology Institute) and I'm sure they will be glad in assist you to develop a RTM symbian client.

You both (RTM and Nokia) should incorporate RTM in the OVI service. It would be the first GTD application inbuilt with a cellphone factory.

I can't believe that a phone as good as the E71 doesn't have even a half decent task management app available.

I can't believe either. Why do I need a Iphone to have access to every app that's useful...

As the most prevelant smartphone OS, I'm surprised RTM hasn't stepped up to addressing S60 especially since this is not the first forum post asking for it. Prior to the "Ideas Forums," there were requests for it. Please create an S60 platform friendly app.

As it seems that direct support for S60 is a low priority, how about allowing NuevaSync to support RTMS60 task synchronisation instead?

There is no reason to just limit yourself to the US/iPhone crowd, the need for staying organized unites people of all creeds, colors and phone brands.

I realize developing for Symbian has been a royal pain in the past, but now that Nokia has adapted Qt it is possible to develop a great app in finite time (alternatively you and/or Nokia could outsource the work to someone, for instance Cutehacks).

This idea is considered similar to "Symbian app", and all votes have been transferred to that idea.
