The upcoming Mandriva Linux 2008 Spring release will boast the easiest ever support for synchronizing with Windows Mobile 5 and 6 devices in any distribution. The adventurous can already try out the support in the current 2008 Spring pre-release repositories, by following the instructions here. Mandriva has uploaded a video demonstrating how easy it is to synchronize with a Windows Mobile 6 device right out of the box with Mandriva Linux 2008 Spring. Support is included for synchronizing with both KDE (KDE PIM) and GNOME (Evolution). Similarly easy synchronization is also possible with many Nokia phones and with Blackberry devices.

Wow, that sounds like a pain in the ass. Even with the packages making it easy in Mandriva, there's probably going to be nothing in the phone's manual telling people using Linux how to do that, so I would hope that when you plugged in the phone without any of these packages installed, there would be at least something popping up, informing users what they need to do.
I don't think I would ever go through what you just said you did. I'm getting too old for that sh*t
