Hi , i have been using KDEPIM since 3.4 version . I use Opensync-Syncml plugin to synchronise my mobile phone (Nokia N Series) contacts with Kde Addressbook. it worked just great till Kde 3.5.

With the Kde4 version , the synchronisation still works great, but there is a problem. When the contacts are received from the phone, the "formatted name" filed shows a blank. With kde 3.5 , the this was correctly displayed as "FirstName Lastname" . Also, when double clicked on a contact, the Name field is totally messed up. I see nothing in all the fields(ie Given name, Family name etc). This was not so with the previous 3.5 version and the names used to show up in the correct fields. 

Also, one more thing I noticed is that on double clicking the contact for editing, the text box beside the "Edit Name" button momentarily shows something and then becomes blank. 

Also one more weird thing is that for some contacts it shows the formatted name properly, but while editing it shows blank in all the fields as described above. 

here is the output of mysynctool --discover

[aniket mymachine 2]$ msynctool --discover KDE

The first entry is for the phone. I have also tried the vcard21 format for the phone, the results are same. 

I am using opensync version 0.36
