I really like my new Nokia N95, and with Nokia's driver for iSync, things have been working wonderfully. However, I found out that the notes associated to a ToDo task (notes = description in N95) were limited to 500 characters. Since I use some notes bigger than that, I proceeded as follows:

  1. Open /Library » PhonePlugins » Nokia-N95.phoneplugin » Contents » Resources » PhoneConduit.plist in your favorite text editor. (I suggest using a text editor rather than Property List Editor.)
  2. Change the maxLentgh parameter for the description attribute, in the com.apple.calendars.Task key from 500 to, say, 10000.
  3. Save the file and restart iSync.
Next time you sync, your notes of up to 10000 characters will be there in you N95. I guess this hint can be extended to others mobile phones and PDAs, but then "caveat emptor."
