Yes, lot's of people seem to be having trouble.

I can't offer a positive experience, merely neutral one.
I had some problems with my tungsten T2 to start with, (messed up calender
entries) but I got those sorted.

I cannot sync my todo list. The conduit just plainly refuses. Calendar and
Addressbook sync fine, though. So.. generally a neutral result.

Never tried JPilot, mostly because I've taken some looks at Kontact and I
don't really like it (aesthetically), and I just happen to prefer Gnome.

Although.. i do miss some features of KDE that Gnome doesn't have, but
that's off topic.
