Mobile Phones that Sync w/ PIM Software?

Burianski11 asks: "After searching for a phone that syncs with my PIM for a few months now, I'm stumped. I've seen phones that sync with Exchange Server and others whose web-based phone book will sync with a web-based PIM (Sprint has this). Are there any phones out there that will sync easily with PIM software, be it Outlook, Evolution, or something else?"

Isync Equivalent/SyncML for Windows? OSS??

I would like to add and expand to the question because I have exactly the same problem. Everyone always repeats the isync mantra.

Howeever, the reality is that I (and I suspect the poster) do not have a Mac. So is there an equivalent for Windows? In particular a program that speaks syncml, that runs on windows, over bluetooth and syncs with Mozilla's address book?

On Linux?

Yah, it's not like technology CHANGES or anything.

Bitch at Sanyo for not providing an iSync conduit for their skrewy sync protocol. iSync supports SyncML, which is what most of those phones use. Thus they get support by supporting the standard. If you want to sync a Palm device you need to install the Palm Desktop to get the Palm iSync conduit.

Sprint has never been big on the "let the users do it themselves" mentality, prefering to see more along the lines of "If we don't force our way in the middle how can we charge them for it?" vis a vis "Picture mail" that requires you to go to their little web/wap page to look at pictures and insists that you download single, 15k jpgs in zip files instead of just signing and MMS transport agreement with other carriers. Incomming SMS was the same way until this morning, except that the web app didn't work from Trio 300s.
