Welcome then.

 Trolltech ported Qtopia to the FIC Neo Freerunner and 1973 phone,
I have never read about anybody daring to use evolution or kontact.

Don't expect that to work automagically. Pairing with a Bluetooth handsfreeset 
and routing GSM to it can be made to work. Here is the recipe:

I have not read anything about Abiword on FreeRunner. Why anyone would use a 
smartphone for wordprocessing is beyond the understanding of mere a mortal 
like me. You need a real keyboard to do any serious typing.
