I use jpilot, not Evolution, but I have this in /etc/udev/udev.rules:
BUS=="usb", KERNEL=="ttyUSB[13579]", SYSFS{product}=="Palm Handheld*", \
SYMLINK+="pilot"
Every USB Palm device creates two ttyUSB devices; some Palms sync on the
first device, the Zire 31 uses the second one. The other tty is
supposedly used for debugging, but I'm not sure how. If you had another
usb-serial device such as a USB-RS232 adapter, I don't know whether the
even/odd numbering of the Palm devices would change, requiring a
different method to create the /dev/pilot link.
