Some ideas:

1. OpenSync is for synchronizing phonebook and calendar. You will be
able to _synchronize_ your phonebook with another app using OpenSync,
but you will not be able to simply "read" it. OpenSync will also not
deal with SMS.

2. The SyncML plugin is currently highly experimental and does not work
in the majority of the cases. If you're having trouble understanding how
to compile it it probably is not for you.

3. Gnokii (http://www.gnokii.org/) is essentially a Linux driver for
Nokia phones which will allow you to read/write/send/receive SMS. It
will also allow you to edit/import/export your phonebook. It has a nice
graphical application called xgnokii. It cannot sync, though.

4. There is also a Gnokii plugin for OpenSync if you want to use
OpenSync with your phone.
