You could try synce-kde; I have not tried it. I sync my Windows Mobile
contacts & calendar to XP. Email is via imaps to my self-hosted server.

How about the Wing? I'm reasonably happy with the predecessor, the MDA.
You need to download Java if you need it (I did it to try an app, so I
know it works).
- 2 MP camera (though the 1.3 MP on the MDA is quite poor)
- Bluetooth works with all earpieces I tried (Jabra, Motorola,
Logitech), Garmin GPS 10, ActiveSync to PC, and using the phone as a
modem. 3rd party freeware to redirect system sounds to bluetooth
works. Logitech headset best in wind, and cheap.
- slide-out keyboard; on-screen keyboard and character recognition as
well.
- PocketPuTTY for ssh; password auth only. Terminal emulation works
with mutt well.
- 802.11b (MDA has g enabling registry hack; Wing, b/g)
- Display poor in bright light (MDA)
- tcpmp makes a great media player
- Any mp3 file for a ringtone (per contact, too)
I plan on trying the Wing soon. The manual is on-line under the support
tab.
