I've located the following programs:

Gammu

Works with many Nokia and Ericsson phones, but not with the Moto RAZR. Ugly as hell to interface to, due to bad command line and even worse documentation. However, if it did speak to Motos, the Wammu GUI might at least let me reorganise the phonebook correctly.

KMobiletools

KDE tool, connects wonderfully to the phone, but doesn't apparently support calendar information. Synchronising with the KDE address book is not very helpful to me, as my address book is in Evolution. Getting a backup out of the phone is still better than nothing, though. However, the claim of "synchronising" with the KDE address book is not quite correct - it does copy entries from the phone, but does nothing whatsoever about updating them if I change them on the computer. I have most of the entries three times now in KDE.

GNOME Phone Manager

Theoretically, this ought to be a good option for a GNOME user like me. I have not yet tested this, but Google finds nothing about RAZR support, and I can not find working FC3 binaries. The thought of building the whole bluetooth stack from source is not inviting.

Multisync

Looks promising as well, but as far as I can see, no one has made it work with either Evolution 2 or RAZR. If I'm not mistaken, I would probably need both G-P-M and Multisync to make this solution work.

Hi, i don' t know if your RAZR is supported by multisync but multisync doesn't need G-P-M and syncs pretty well with Evolution 2. Godd luck ;-)

Thanks. Unfortunately, I've been unable to find a build of Multisync compatible with Evolution 2.2 - rebuilding fails due to evolution-data-server 1.2. Might be a trivial fix, but I haven't collected enough motivation to look at it.

In fact, Multisync seems like an unbelievably difficult package to build. It would take hours to even understand which version of it is _supposed_ to build, given that the usuals tools don't work at all.

Did you ever get this to work...

Haven't had the time to muck with Multisync. I find it a bit tedious to use software that doesn't have any packaged releases that are supposed to work..

Well, I finally installed the Multisync CVS version (hint, download the snapshot archive instead of grabbing CVS head - the latter does not work), and ended up with a version that will talk to Evo 2 - I can now make a backup, and will try the SyncML-to-a-server plugin soon. However, the IrMC plugin will not sync to RAZR via Bluetooth. I can discover the phone, and on channel 8 I even get a dialog on the phone's screen about an incoming transfer, but that is denied by the phone, and the connection fails. IrMC's "cable" option doesn't support Motorola either. RAZR apparently does support SyncML too, but would require me to be able to enter a server address - I don't know what my laptop's address would be (localhost?)
