There's a slightly ugly way but the one that works[1] via USB. I haven't tried with bluetooth as I don't have a bluetooth dongle.
For Contacts: a. Go to contacts. b. Click on Menu button c. Select "Import/Export Menu" d. Select "Export to SD Card". Wait for the export process to finish. e. Go to Settings -> Wireless and network -> USB Settings. Select Mass storage. f. Connect your phone to PC with USB. g. Press "Connect USB storage" button, when connected. h. Open the folder on your computer corrosponding to the SD Card. i. Right click on the exported file and select "Open with Evolution"(or thunderbird, if you like). j. Click on the Phone Book to which you want to import the Contacts.
Similar thing should work for Calendar too. There might be an easier way to sync via USB, what USB setting options does your phone have?
1. Works on Froyo in Samsung Galaxy S. Method might be slightly different on HTC Sense
