I currently have a Nokia N86, which is a Symbian phone that is listed

Great!  Yes , Currently with Syncevolution you can sync your N86's Calendar,
Contacts and Notes with KDE PIM(Only via. Bluetooth / with some additional
work ,via. Wifi though). You can use the Nokia S60 template of syncevolution
for that.

You can get the information about the program over here:

I have my end semester exams in 2 weeks, so i had to put a pause to
syncevolution. Apart from the GUI, as of now : there are 2 little things i
need to fix in syncevolution command line tool:

1)Adding support for KDE-Specific extensions: currently, the KDE specific
fields(Spouse, Blog ,etc...) wont sync. with anything else. they simply will
be wiped clean. This has to change.

2)Run Automated Tests.


Cheers,
Dinesh

P.S @afiestas : The Bluedevil Plugin for Syncevolution was the First thing I
wrote and writing it was a Amazingly Fast and Fun. Thanks :D

Thanks.
