All Symbian based Nokia S60, Sony Ericsson UIQ and Windows Mobile based devices sync only with Outlook. Fortunately for Windows Mobile, there is a free software called Finchsync which allows you to sync your Windows Mobile device with Outlook automatically. For Symbian based devices, we have to follow a two step process.
Step 1
======
1) Download and install the free Zyb mobile client for your Nokia or Sony Ericsson mobile phone from https://zyb.com/
2) Synchronize your contacts to Zyb’s online server directly from your mobile device via GPRS
Step 2
=====
1) On your desktop computer, go to http://topologilinux.com/syncml/ and download a free extension called tsync for Mozilla Thunderbird/Seamonkey that allows you to sync your Thunderbird client to Zyb.com via SyncML
For Thunderbird 1-1.5,Seamonkey 1.0, the download link is- http://www.topologilinux.com/tsync/0.2/tsync.xpi
For Thunderbird 2 and Seamonkey 1.1, the download link is- http://www.topologilinux.com/tsync/cvs/tsync.xpi
2) In Thunderbird/Seamoney, Select Tools –>Extension and Install (choose tsync.xpi). Then Restart Thunderbird/Seamonkey.
3) Under options for this plug-in, setup your Zyb account and hit Sync.
That’s it! This way, you should be able to sync your Nokia and Sony Ericsson contacts to Mozilla Thunderbird indirectly.

5I am sceptical about free resources like Zyb mobile & Plaxo
Why are they offering these services for free. What is their ultimate aim? To get as many contact details as possible and make money selling the database?
