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.

It doesn't, as you can see from the video. 
I just recommend rebooting in the documentation as most people don't want to bother with manually starting system services etc.
If you don't want to reboot, just do what I did in the video: start the 'odccm' service, then plug in the phone and run 'synce-kpm'.

Why does it require a reboot? Is it based on Microsoft Windows or what?
