todo: add a screenshot of the mobile for options to check for synchro and retry with other tools
I'm still using the USB cable to synchronize contacts & agenda with evolution, it works correctly.
Using msynctool
Configure opensync with multisync-gui then edit ~/.opensync/group1/1/syncml-obex-client.conf commenting out lines for Notes & Calendar (completely)
It will show in the configuration like msynctool --showgroup Nokia

Afterwards, msynctool --sync Nokia

/o\ all contacts in my email were sent, now I've got both email and mobile-phone contacts, that's a bit too much :/ I'll have to sort this out (maybe categories...).
When one contact is deleted in evolution, it's deleted on the mobile phone and vice-versa.
Now it nearly works with Calendar too, as I realized my configuration on the mobile phone only included Contacts :
- check Menu / Parameters / Connectiv / Sync and select Contacts (should be already selected) and Agenda (and perhaps Notes)
- there may be a way to check automatically what's configured on the mobile phone for "PC Suite" ?
- after this "error" I got the event in Evolution (but events in evolution did not get transferred to the phone...)

Ah, now that I got it to synchronize at least once,
- deleting an event in evolution is propagated to the phone
- adding an event in evolution is propagated to the phone and vice versa (though not really in the appropriate format)
