Quite well, actually. Though the upgrade to Edgy broke it temporarily. Turns
out that the calendar conduits for kpilot in Edgy are broken, and it
completely erases the calendar on the PDA. Oops! So I manually deleted the
conduits, then downloaded the latest from the KDE svn, compiled and
installed them.

Palm T|X <-> kpilot <-> kontact works very well now for calendar, contacts,
notes and file installations. Mail doesn't work, but that's cool, since I
have Versamail sync via wifi anyway.

I actually sync my T|X with Outlook on my work computer, too. Every now and
then there's some duplication between the three systems, but that's easily
fixable.
