Good morning, our president would like to change his phone NOKIA E63 that currently syncs contacts and calendar of our lotus 6.5.5 WITH software PC SUITE NOKIA USB.
I saw that new smartphones with windows phone does not speak with lotus and find / buy an old model of nokia (e63, e5, e72 symbian and compatible → nokia pc suite) is practically impossibile. Do you have any advice/solution for syncro lotus notes calendar/contact on things I could buy?
Thanks.

The best advice is to upgrade your Lotus Notes and Domino environment. Notes 6.5.5 is more than 7 years old. Official support from IBM ended more than 3 years ago. No smartphone vendors are going to support their new products on a Notes/Domino version that is so old that IBM themselves don’t support it.

please give me a hand is the CEO … and I have to change his phone and I can not change lotus 6.5 throughout the enterprise. There’ll be a way to synchronize your calendar and contacts with a mobile / smartphone of any brand?

I understand that this is your CEO. If you give him a solution that nobody actually supports, even if it seems to work okay most of the time, you are still not doing him a favor. The time it will fail will be the time that he needs it most, and you will have nobody to turn to for help. And who is he going to blame if that happens?
So if you can’t migrate the whole enterprise, then just add a new Domino 8.5 server into your domain, migrate your CEO’s mail to that server, and configure Lotus Notes Traveler. Domino works very, very well in mixed version environments as long as you take basic precautions.
