I have also tried kde 4.10 beta compiling from source on a debian testing 
distribution (compiling full kde here). Regarding kdepim2, my personal feeling 
is:

- Akonadi/nepomuk works better, I can now use simple search folders. Like 
important-marked mails.
- Cardav/caldav (on a owncloud server) works well. Some minor rough edges 
creating and deleting calendars.
- Migration of mails was a pain. Many mails did not show up and were 
(aparently) lost. At the end I had to recreate all my accounts and then import 
my old mails. I was not confident with the result unitl I md5-compared all my 
mails with a backup.
- I feel "almost forced" to use kwallet, if not the system is tiresome asking 
for passwords.
