Data that has problems contacts (type of phonenumber or e-mail address and events (timezone). Tasks not tested.
SyncEvolution version 1.0 beta 2 (64 bit packages from Ubuntu Lucid repositories
SyncEvolution platform Linux desktop

Configuration template included in SyncEvolution: no, used template default as basis
Tested by Erik

Comments:

The Samsung B5722 does not expose the SyncML server over Bluetooth. I used the syncevo-http-server.py script from 1.0 beta3 with my 1.0 beta2 install from the Ubuntu repositories.

Phone configuration is done via (translated from Dutch) Menu > Sync > Add Sync.prof

Key Value
Profilename Your choice
Synchronisation Category All
Contacts Checkbox checked
External contacts addressbook
Meeting Checkbox checked
External Calendar calendar
Tasks Checkbox checked
External Task todo
Synchronisation Type Update Both [1]
Synchronisation Server http://yourServer.yourDomain.yourTopLevelDomain:yourPort/syncevolution
Network Profile Set to the data profile for your carrier

[1] I always set it the Full Synchronisation, but it always gets set back to Update Both

Configuration template:

This is the configuration I use now. There are still some issues with it. Issue 1: On writing updates from Evolution to the phone, some phone-numbers loose their type (private/work mobile or non-mobile) Issue 2: Dates of events/calendar entries are off by the offset between the local time of the phone and UTC. With the local time of the phone I mean the current timezone and DST setting.

username = yourUsernameHere
password = yourPasswordHere

I can't see the complete page myself. Must be my lack of wiki experience.

I see that you have committed

I see that you have committed multiple revisions of this page, but there never was any content. I'm not sure why that is. I suggest that you try adding some simple text and verify that it is saved properly.

Content now showing up

Because of Patrick's comment I tried again. There seems to be a limit to the wiki page size. Above that you can save your page or edits, but an empty page will be shown on the preview and to others. No errors when you press Save, just "Wiki page .... has been updated". I deleted all comment and empty lines from the configuration (template) and now do not hit that size limit anymore.

I hope the information is helpfull.
