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.

worknman: the point is that with MDV from 2008 Spring you don't have to go through all that stuff, that's the stuff I had to go through to fix it in the packages so no-one *else* has to go through it. =)
It would indeed be nice for something to pop up and offer to install the metapackage when you plugged in an appropriate device. This is probably too big a thing to get into 2008 Spring, but I had already thought of it and we'll look at getting it into 2009.
