I can sync pictures and music (mp3 ringtones) quite easily. Both with my
laptop (built-in dell bluetooth) and the cheapo belkin USB bluetooth
adaptor i bought in PC world (for my sins).
systems used are KDEBluetooth, obex object push|ftp and konqueror (all
on FC4)
The addressbook is something else entirely.
Just plain doesn't want to know.
apparently it can be made to work with kmobiletools.
Just not by me as yet.

synchronising things with your phone unless it has a mobile phone-shaped UI?
