Contact and calendar synchronization with mobile phone (bluetooth)

[Micha <michf@post.tau.ac.il>]

I am looking for a way to synchronize my mobile phone (sony ericson k610i) with
my linux machine over bluetooth. so that I can avoid keeping outlook around for
that reason only.

That requires two things:

A synchronization method (tried opensync but it doesn't seem to properly
synchronize and only against very few things).

A calendar/contact manager. Not necessarily in one program, as long as
synchronization isn't a problem. Preferably not kde or gnome (kde is much much
worse, but they both start up a bunch of daemons that keep lying around
afterwords, and as I don't use neither I would rather skip them).

What I found out up to now is that opensync synchronizes mostly ok against
google calendar, but that is web based and I would rather not depend on the
internet and a third party to keep my data safe and allow proper access.

iceowl seems ok but it doesn't seem like it can sync with opensync, onless it's
synchronization with a remote calendar will work here.

Dind't find any proper contact manager though (gnome/kde or otherwise).

Does anyone out there have a working solution that would allow working and
synchronizing the data both on the laptop and the phone?

Thanks
