I don't think I'm doing a good job at that ;-}

No. SyncEvolution 1.0 beta, running as SyncML server on a Linux desktop,
can talk via Bluetooth to the SyncML implementation that is already in
the N900.

Correct. That is what is currently missing, in any of the scenarios.

You could use the SyncML server inside the N900 like this, but it
probably will be safer to use SyncEvolution as server and the N900 as
client.

In this scenario, SyncEvolution on the PC would have to act as SyncML
server and SyncEvolution on the N900 as client. It would allow you to
avoid the builtin software on the N900. The link can be HTTP (needs
syncevo-http-server.py on PC) and Bluetooth (needs obexd with
SyncEvolution plugin on PC). There's one limitation: the N900 has to
initiate the connection.
