ψάχνοντας στο web βλέπω αντιφατικές αναφορές[1]
Υπάρχει κανείς που να κάνει sync με επιτυχία και επαφές και ημερολόγιο
και αν ναι με τι setup?

[1] παραθέτω ως παράδειγμα επειδή έχει πλάκα το απόσπασμα από το
opensync Device Compatibility List που αφορά στo N95:

Working; similar to N73 above. Contacts: success; calendar: success;
Todo: not working (yet? 0.22 errors out); Notes: not working (yet?)

Έχω δοκιμάσει κατα καιρούς διάφορα προγράμματα για Nokia και τελικά κατέληξα στην εξής απλούστατη λύση.

Έχω το Νοκια Ε63 και του έχω φωρτώσει το πρόγραμμα της Νοκια "Mail for Exchange" με το οποίο συγχρονίζω το κινητό μου με τους Servers της google και συγχρονίζονται κανονικά επαφές, ημερολόγιο και μαιλς. Έπειτα μπορώ με οποιοδήποτε άλλο GUI offline πρόγραμμα βλέπε Evolution να συνδεθώ στην google και να συγχρονίσω και τοπικά τα δεδομένα του κινητού μου.
Οκ, πάω Ιταλία μέσω Αγγλίας αλλά δουλεύει.. :)

Synchronise Contacts, Calendar and other PIM data.

... my answer for dealing with PIM sync in Linux is the same for using Windows without Outlook -- Switch to cloud computing!

This may sound like a cop out, but with how the Internet and mobile devices have developed, keeping your personal organiser online is the most versatile way to handle your data -- It is a platform agnostic solution. My only caveat for this is to make sure you use a service that makes it is easy to download a backup of your data. It is for this reason I would hesitate to recommend the Ovi services. It is very easy to sync your phone with Ovi, but it is seemingly impossible to get a copy of your data from their servers.

As far as your S60 phone is concerned, all you need is a service which supports SyncML, the protocol used by the Sync application in all S60 phones. The PIM sites I know of which support this are: MemotooScheduleworldMobical, and Ovi 1. My personal recommendation goes to Memotoo because of the comprehensive format support and ease of downloading backups. Scheduleworld comes a close second.

You can still utilise these services even if you prefer working in a desktop application. Ubuntu comes pre-installed with Evolution, an open source alternative to Microsoft Outlook,  you just need to add the SyncML plug-in. Also, Mozilla Sunbird can work with your online calendars, and there are plug-ins for Mozilla Thunderbird to access your on-line address books.

Note 1: I omitted talking about Google, because whether you use Windows or Linux, there isn't a clear route for syncing your phone with Google. You either sync with Microsoft Outlook, which in turn needs a plug-in, or you need to install GooSync on your phone to sync properly with Google. I know Google are providing better support for S60 phones, but in my opinion what they provide is not yet ready for prime time.

Editor's addendum: In addition, yes, Google's own SyncML server is still online, but it's not officially supported
