Cheers... but I think a whoops by me is in order.

I should perhaps clarify...

Can I sync <insert recommended phone> to Evolution *without* giving my
data to Google or another 3rd party :-)

Either via wireless/Bluetooth, or USB to my laptop(s)


I should also mention I run my own mailserver, so IMAP mail to my client
machines.

I used to do this with a couple of SonyEricsson's quite a long time back
- and they were relatively dumb phones.

Cheers
