Been using a T3 for about 6 months now.
I sync it with kpilot in kde3.2 with konqueror, and kaddressbook.
"Usually" works as expected, althought I have had my tests with quirks like 
changing appointment times and dates, but I think those are worked out in 
kde3.2 now.

Granted "Most" of what I sync is done to a windoze program using win4lin and 
98se inside of the Gentoo Desktop.

I LOVE the T3!
