Using Wine to sync mobile phones with Linux?

Hello!

The number of mobile (smart) phones that include synchronising software to be used with Linux is... well, let's call it "very clearly laid out", to be polite.

I wonder if it was possible to run the Windows software that comes with every mobile device using Wine in order to synchronize meetings and contacts.

Has any one ever done this? If so: which phones or which software can be used for this purpose?

Of course the synchronizing software should be able to produce a file format that can be used on Linux, particularly ical/vcal files, because every Linux PIM component can use this file.

There is none atm, that works I guess.. There is OpenSync, and for Nokia phones you could use Ovi Sync.

I've been using this Linux App, which is promising
