Alternative solution #1 to the synce problem with Nautilus:
WM5Storage allows to solve the problem with Nautilus.
If you activate the program, you will be able to access your smartphone as a regular USB Mass Storage device (ordinary "usb disk"). If you deactivate the program, ActiveSync will be used instead. WM5Storage works on Windows Mobile 5 or 6.
