I think you have already pretty much answered your own question, The E71 being a series 60 phone should play with opensync which in itself plays with Evolution.
I actually have it working with Evolution now, I went back to SyncEvolution and genesis, installed a couple more python modules and it 'just worked'! :-)
I'm not sure that I'm absolutely in love with evolution but it'll do.
Nothing is out of the box (not even reliable sync with a Windows client) But a quick glance over some instructions Google gave me shows that it is a matter of installing a handful of packages and setting up the bluetooth pairing. On a sane disto it looks like it should take less time than it took me to write this reply.

I'm using WiFi to connect rather than Bluetooth, rather easier (for me anyway). I didn't have to edit any XML files either! :-) The messy bit was getting SyncEvolution and genesis installed, had to compile SyncEvolution and find some elusive python modules.
I run a series 60 phone as well. However I have never tried this as mine syncs over GPRS to Exchange 2003 (yeh boo hiss..but it works) which gives me live mail,tasks,contacts and calendar. Oh and a remote wipe the phone and lock it button for when it gets lost.
However it would still be interesting to hear how this works out.
It seems pretty reliable and solid now I have all the right bits built. It should work over GPRS too though I don't propose to do that too often as it will cost money.
