time-saving tip: if you don’t want this all explained to you, you can just download and execute this bash script.

First you need to install SynCE:
Add these lines to your apt sources (type “sudo kate /etc/apt/source.list” and paste these at the bottom)

deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/synce/ubuntu gutsy main
deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/synce/ubuntu gutsy main

Install the USB Driver

sudo apt-get install usb-rndis-source cdbs
sudo module-assistant auto-install usb-rndis

Install ODCCM (the connection manager)

sudo apt-get install odccm librra0-tools librapi2-tools

Now we need to install MultiSync (a gui that manages the syncing process)

sudo apt-get install multisync libmultisync-plugin-backup libmultisync-plugin-irmc libmultisync-plugin-evolution synce-multisync-plugin

Now that you’re done installing everything, type “sudo odccm -f” into the konsole to start the connection manager, and plug in device (your device should now recognize that it is connected). To manage the syncing, open up MultiSync (Start Menu->Utilities->MultiSync) and create a new sync pair with the plugins “SynCE Plugin” and “Ximan Evolution 2″. Press sync, and you’re done!

If you dont use evolution, you can get other plugins for MultiSync at their website.
