I hope you will want to provide me >a few informations anyway, if I may "bug" you a little more... sync-engine is for WM5+, to sync WM2003 and earlier you need to use the old multisync or preferably the synce plugin from opensync, which I don't think is available in debian. We have it in launchpad for ubuntu, Jonny we'll have to sort out a way for you to package that. Olivier, please bear in mind these version differences apply to PIM syncing only.

I'm going to release from synce today or tomorrow. Jonny may have some fun with packaging the new synce-hal for debian after that :) Jonny, you may want to look at my packaging in launchpad. >My final and important goal is to be able to sync with my Linux box via >bt a Symbian device I intend to buy soon.

Having said that, if what you want to do is connect your WM2003 to linux by bt, we're what you want :) With synce-hal 0.13 I can connect WM2003 via bt easily, WM5+ is still a little experimental.
