This is off topic for this list, but there you might want to check this (very long) Ubuntu forum thread for syncing Nokia with Evolution: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=260676 Or this short one on the N73: http://eriksdatadump.blogspot.com/2007/07/syncml-nokia-n73-and-evolution.html I haven't gotten around to trying it yet, but it doesn't sound like much fun. Erik's page has a lovely quote: "Getting synchronization with your phone and evolution in Linux is pure hell and unimaginable non-user friendly.
