I can sync the address book of my own Sony Ericsson t610i with Evolution
no trouble & doubt they would have removed that capability from their
newer phones. Just a combination of BlueZ for bluetooth connectivity via
the laptop, and Multi-Sync for performing the phone<->evolution comms. Now,
I can receive a business card via a txt message & it'll sync across to
Evolution in < 30 seconds - its a great demo to give to people who think 
Linux doesn't cut it on the desktop :-)
