    The n900 has syncevolution, that can supposedly sync with lots of stuff: http://syncevolution.org/documentation/compatibility

    However, I'm not sure how reliable it is on the n900 at the moment.

    I've been using syncevolution on the N900 for over six months now, and it's been working like charm, no problems whatsoever.

    Please try Syncevolution: it will talk to the Nokia syncml-client over Bluetooth (or via a web service if you prefer). The UI is made for MeeGo netbooks so may be a bit weird on desktop, but the app itself is solid.

    However, I'm not sure how reliable it is on the n900 at the moment. I'd like to have some server running or syncing with evolution on the desktop, but when I peeked into this on the talk.maemo.org forums some months ago, it didn't seem very straightforward yet.

    Maybe pop into talk.maemo.org and ask how it's doing?

  4. SyncEvolution by ackbar · · Score: 4, Informative · on Open Source-Friendly Smartphones For the Small Office?

    I use SyncEvolution with my Nokia E71. Works flawlessly. Will also work with the Nokia N900 and I'm guessing any Symbian S60 phone. http://syncevolution.org/

    For something that actually works right now, take a look at Syncevolution. The development has been extremely active in the past years and the project seems to be significantly ahead of the "competition" at this point.

    syncevolution can work as a SyncML client: e.g. PC --- service --- device
    or as a SyncML server: PC --- device

    SyncML implemantations are notoriously non-standard (as is the SyncML standard itself) but e.g. Nokia S60 phones should nowadays sync pretty nicely with syncevolution + Evolution.

  6. Nokia N900 by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 0 · on Open Source-Friendly Smartphones For the Small Office?

    The Nokia N900 really does just run a desktop Linux stack. From that perspective you can do whatever you want with it pretty easily. Things like SyncEvolution work on the N900. That said, Nokia's Maemo is in the process of being merged with Intel's Moblin into MeeGo. It may be worth waiting to see what Nokia's first MeeGo phone is like and perhaps getting that in preference to the N900.

  7. SyncEvolution? by furrymitn · · Score: 3, Informative · on Open Source-Friendly Smartphones For the Small Office?

    http://syncevolution.org/ Looks fairly promising using your current setup. A brief look give the assumption it's compatible with evolution, and will connect up to anything that talks syncml, and there's a syncml client for nearly any smartphone out there. And some dated info found at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=398113 gives info on someone setting up evolution to talk activesync, which would allow for windows-based phones to sync up...
