Read the message properly: the packages are available, they just aren't going 
to be installed. If those packages were unavailable, it would say so.
An example from my local debian:
# LANG=C sudo apt-get install wine:i386 wine-bin:i386
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 wine-bin:i386 : Depends: libwine-gecko-unstable:i386 (< 1.1~) but it is not 
installable
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

apt-get doesn't produce particularly useful error messages in this situation. 
You need to do a manual dependency resolution to find the actual problem. That 
is why I specified wine-bin in my example above - only specifying wine would 
have yielded an error message as unhelpful as yours.
To find the actual problem, you need to start adding the packages apt-get 
complains aren't supposed to be installed. So the first iteration would be:
#apt-get install kdepim-mobile kmail-mobile kaddressbook-mobile tasks-mobile \
 notes-mobile korganizer-mobile kdepim-runtime kleopatra kdepim-strigi-plugins

If that still doesn't yield a broken/held/uninstallable package, keep going 
until it either installs or gets to some actual error.
