For import/export - have you looked at opensync/multisync?  AFAIK,
there aren't any GUI tools for them, but it does synchronize phones,
PDAs etc... with files, evolution data server etc...  And once you've
got it inside evolution-data-server, I guess you could use
pimlico/evolution or possibly another GUI to manage the data on the
desktop.
