The iCal calendars are in ~/Library/Calendars (the .ics files). Note that 
if you move them out, iCal will make new (empty) "Home" and "Work" 
calendars that *will* be synchronized with your phone.
The address book data is in ~/Library/Application Support/AddressBook (move 
the entire directory away).
Note that this doesn't include the application preferences; those are in 
~/Library/Preferences (but those aren't iSync-ed anyway).

ISync has gotten a lot less, uh, surprising since version 1.1, and you're 
supposed to be able to do what you want within iSync: use Device:Reset All 
Devices... and follow the bouncing prompts. But having never done this with 
a phone myself (just an iPod), I'm not going to claim it works. :-)

To a blind optimist, an optimistic realist must seem like an Accursed Cynic.
