It turned out that the phone uses ISO-8859-1 instead UTF-8 as encoding, without announcing that.

It is possible to configure the Synthesis engine so that it does with the character set conversion correctly, but that leads to this question: which phones need this special treatment?

I'm currently inclined to enable this for all Sony Ericsson phones, unconditionally. If you are using a Sony Ericsson a) which uses something else than ISO-8859-1 as local charset and/or b) which works correctly with non-standard characters already in SyncEvolution 1.1.1, then please leave a comment.
