 So I started Multisync. I edited the configuration pair, went to options for the IrMC mobile device, made sure the connection type was set to Bluetooth and selected 'Search for units...'. It successfully found the K550i and updated the Bluetooth device address and channel. So I started Multisync.

 +Emboldened with this, I installed the KDE calendar and tried syncing with that as well. I did not manage to get events to sync in either direction. No idea why.
  
 So I tried syncing. No luck. I enable the experimental Resync button, and tried that. It detected that the phone side had been reset since the last sync, and asked if I wanted to restore. Yes, please! But still no luck. So I tried syncing. No luck. I enable the experimental Resync button, and tried that.

 Stumbling around at random, I tried the IrMC Mobile Device 'Options' tab, and unclicked all the entries on 'Bug workarounds' therein. Success! The sync completed and I have my contacts list back again. Stumbling around at random, I tried the IrMC Mobile Device 'Options' tab, and unclicked all the entries on 'Bug workarounds' therein.

 +Last night on a whim I tried syncing with my KDE address book. I succeeded in syncing contacts with [[http://www.opensync.org/wiki/kitchensync|Kitchensync]] on Debian Testing. I set up the mobile as an IrMC device accessed through Bluetooth, and used the KDE Desktop as the other half of the group. I unchecked everything except contacts in the list of info to sync.

 +The initial sync produced a few 'collision' dialogs. These don't seem to work properly; at least they didn't show me what was in conflict. But I clicked blindly on the buttons and eventually the sync finished.
