Are there any phones/PDAs which can synchronise with Ubuntu nowadays?

Hi, Chris

Another tool is gammu. Wammu is the gui for it. Here's a link to a
user maintained page about phone capabilities using that software:

http://wammu.eu/phones/

I had the chance to try it in Lucid with a Sony Ericsson K770i that
shows as fully capable (when connected with the cable) and it worked
very well. It's not the best of gui, but good/very good enough :)

I was able to download and manage contacts, calendar, todo, use it as
a modem, do calls, send sms, etc... Also images and music, of course,
but for that usually just connect the phone will be enough (I think
for most of phones if not all, right?)

If you have any luck with SyncML, please tell us. I'll appreciate any
info, because I have the (not very informed) idea that SyncML is not a
very adopted standard.
