I just got Akonadi working and tested kpilot "Version 5.2.0-rc1 (KDE 
4.2.0) Unter KDE 4.1.96 (KDE 4.1.96 (KDE 4.2 RC1))" against my Palm 
Centro.

The initial sync went fine (kOrganizer and the KDE addressbook were 
empty, and all records from my Centro got replicated.

I tried editing calendar entries in kOrganizer, editing the subject of 
four appointments and changing categories. (I deleted category "Nicht 
abgel." ("Unfil.") within kOrganizer, as there also was a category "Nicht 
abgelegt" ("Unfiled") and changed the category of the four appointments 
from "Nicht abgel." to "Sport".)

On the next sync, kpilot complained about an "invalid record mapping", 
did a full sync, and I ended up with both my old and my edited 
appointments on both systems:

11:46:24 [Abgleichmodul kpilot-conduit-calendar] 
11:46:27 Invalid record mapping. Doing first sync.
11:46:27 Doing first sync. This may take a while.
11:46:29 HH data proxy: Beginn: 159. Ende: 164.5 Neu(e). 
11:46:29 PC data proxy: Beginn: 160. Ende: 164.4 Neu(e). 

Then I deleted the old entries on kOrganizer again and did a third sync, 
which did not change anything, ie. the deletion was not replicated:

11:48:22 [Abgleichmodul kpilot-conduit-calendar] 
11:48:25 HH data proxy: Beginn: 164. Ende: 164.Keine Änderungen 
durchgeführt. 
11:48:25 PC data proxy: Beginn: 164. Ende: 164.Keine Änderungen 
durchgeführt. 

I'll continue to test kpilot the next days and I'm already curious how 
well it will sync my contacts. So far my very first impression is rather 
good, kpilot did not lose any data so far and at least it did work at 
all, in contrast to kpilot from KDE 3.5.x with x >= 5.

Greetings,
