Funnily enough, I did almost precisely this last night :-)

My evolution is 2.4.1 and I'm running gentoo but hopefully it's not too
different. I did it using an existing MultiSync release (rather than the
up-and-coming-and-very-exciting opensync) with a few pointers from:

  http://www.hentges.net/misc/k700i/index.shtml

MultiSync is available from http://multisync.sourceforge.net/

You will need to do the following:

  * Get either a bluetooth or IR connection going with your computer
  * Get MultiSync up and running
  * Set up a sync pair as described on hentges.net link above (default
settings work fine)
  * Sync away!

Given that I already had bluetooth and multisync working, it took me
about a minute to get all my contacts across to the k700i...very slick

One point to make...if you're in a Daylight Savings timezone ensure that
both your computer and phone know about it, otherwise events will be off
by an hour when imported from your phone into evolution.

I'm happy to try to help with any further queries, although I'm not
terribly familiar with Fedora...

Once I get internet connected at home (emailing from work, naughty
me...) I will try out the same procedure with the latest OpenSync
release and report back any success.

Cheers,

   Ryan
