Multisync is a fair way off yet...  This online calendar using SyncML
works brilliantly with my Nokia Symbian phone:

Almost certainly sending/receiving SMS will be some kinda proprietary
crap.  Using computer for calls should be doable, though I've never
done it.  Most people do the reverse, use the mobile phone for VOIP from
the computer.

Linux info for Bluetooth is REALLY BAD!  This page, the first hit for
google "linux bluetooth" is particularly bad -- much of the
information is obsolete, but there's no indiciation of such:
