However the T5 style devices also support (by internal hackery) the
older style PIM databases.  My Treo 650 (pretty much the same version of
PalmOS as the T5) syncs happily enough with evolution - the only problem
(that I notice) being that the location tag of appointments doesn't
carry across - but then I use DateBk5 so I don't have that on the Treo
either...
