Hi,
I thought I should mentioned I tried to do a syncevolution bluetooth sync between a Nokia
N9 PR 1.2 phone using syncevolution 1.2.2 on ubuntu 12.04 and at least getting data off
the phone worked. I did have to use the calendar+todo and made sure the seperate channel
versions were unchecked.
I tried syncing data back but I ended up with duplicated data. But I think that was more
my fault for having synced to text files and had manually editing the files without
understanding the vcal format.

IIRC, multiple calendars cannot be sync'ed in this way? I hope I'm
wrong.

I looked a bit more carefully:
What it looks like is the other calendar I imported from my N900 via bluetooth gets synced
to syncevolution but the built in Personal calendar doesn't sync.
I have:
Personal
OldPhone
Birthdays
PC-SYNC
The data in OldPhone ended up in my directory, and then at some point when I synced it
back it also ended up in the PC-SYNC calendar. An event in Personal doesn't seem to
leave the phone.
I moved an event from personal to PC-SYNC and it was then copied to the syncevolution
target directory.
I don't really use the birthday feature so I don't know how it was treated.
And I did see an oddness with the sync-ui software. I can't save changes to the phone
configuration without setting a username in the default/peers/device/config.ini file

You are using the native SyncML on the N9, right? What kind of calendar
data it uses is outside of the control that SyncEvolution has.
The data in OldPhone ended up in my directory, and then at some
point
when I synced it back it also ended up in the PC-SYNC calendar. An
event in Personal doesn't seem to leave the phone.
That sounds like a bug in the N9's SyncML. If it reads from one
calendar, it also should only write into that.
And I did see an oddness with the sync-ui software. I can't save
changes to the phone configuration without setting a username in the
default/peers/device/config.ini file
That's a known bug:
* GTK-UI: accept service config with a username again (BMC#23106)
Suppressing configs with empty username had undesired side effects:
modifying configs for direct syncing with a device incorrectly
triggered the same error message, without any means of entering
a username. The faulty check was removed without replacement.
A fix is in 1.2.99.1.

Yes.
I was just trying to see if the simple configuration worked at all. I remember being stuck
by a bluetooth bug at some point, I can't remember if it was the earlier N9 or the
N900 though.

That sounds like a bug in the N9's SyncML. If it reads from one
calendar, it also should only write into that.
I did see forum posts with issues with syncing for windows users as well, so there is
undoubtably bugs with the native SyncML stack.
My hunch is that if your life is simple, bluetooth sync might work if you use
syncevolution to sync over a calendar and the you put all the devices calendar events into
that calendar.
