I just wanted to say a HUGE HUGE HUGE thankyou!!! You cannot believe how much googling I did until I reached this page and finally worked out how to do this.
I just did this with a newish Sony Ericsson C905 and it works beautifully (syncing to my little eeepc where I have Linux Mint Fluxbox V8 (based on Ubuntu Karmic) and evolution 2.28). I had to do nothing on the Sony Ericsson but followed all of the steps on my linux box.

And I think one thing not mentioned is: be patient: at least with my experience the reading of contacts out of my mobile goes fast and then it seems to sleep a bit and the input then into evolution takes some time.
Have not played around with duplicates and stuff but just to even get the sync working at all makes me happy. “Sync 2 mobile phone” seems to be the last weak link with linux but maybe this is all I need…
I also have the feeling (not yet proved) that you need to actually kill ALL evolution processes (e.g. also evolution-alarm-notify, …).
I did not need to run as root – maybe not needed in newer Linux versions.
I am writing some scripts around this whole thing … will post them a bit later.

Followed the whole procedure and all seems to work. But where do I actually find the POIs in McGuider? I looked everywhere but cannot find my converted and saved waypoints.

Ok, brief update…

I found that adding ,+ to a POI name gives the possibility to add a phone number !!
As however the , is not on Sygic’s iPhone keyboard, you can only do this by retransferring the *.upi file to your desktop and manually add the , on your desktop and then transfer the file back to your iPhone …
(I use Ov2Upi Translator 2.9 and POI Edit to translate *.upi to *.ov2, and *.ov2 to *.asc and back to *.upi)
With regard to the phone number there should be no spaces in it, a – between country code etc. is ok though (like TomTom), otherwise you can not dial your number (even though the Call icon does light up).

Only (major) issue now is that by adding the phone number as above, the name of the POI disappears in the list !!
All POI with a phone number show up as Unknown POI in the POI list…

I tried inverting name and phone number, adding all sorts of symbols, but have not yet found the solution…
Anyone any suggestions in the meantime ?

work for normal users as well for Nokia E65
(ubuntu 9.04 amdx64).
During sync evolution shoud be closed and there shouldn be duplicates
for the firs procedure.

Working great with 7.71, thanks a lot !
Any idea how to add phone numbers to custom POI (in order to call them from within the program, like with the built in POI) ?
Cheers !

Hello
I follow step-by-step your procedure for my recently adquired Nokia N81 and the results are the same. It works!
