 Whole calendars or parts of a calendar in Sunbird and Lightning can be exported in iCalendar format. Once exported you can send them to your phone using OBEX object push. Windows XP (service pack 2) offers support for OBEX over Blue Tooth for those with Blue Tooth connectivity. See http://support.microsoft.com/kb/883259 for more information. In LINUX, OBEX support is provided though the OpenOBEX project, see http://openobex.triq.net/ for more.

+Note that the iCalendar format is an industry standard format and an extension of the original vCalender. In many cases, a phone that only supports vCalendar will still be able to import simple iCalendar files, although you may need to change the extension of the exported file from "ics" to "vcs". The iCalendar and vCalendar standards include many optional features that a particular vendor may not support. For example, most mobile phone manufacturers support only a small part, if any, of the complex mini-language used to express repeated events and tasks, so these may not import correctly into your phone.
