I can't speak for the N900 but my Android phones (I had a G1 and now have a Nexus \
One) both are Linux based, open-source and sync flawlessly in the background with my \
Google Contacts, Calendar and Mail all of which are work perfectly with KDE PIM. The \
only custom thing you need is an Akonadi resource for the contacts and calendar which \
is stable and I haven't had any problems with.

Personally I've found the Android syncing to be better than any other mobile phone \
syncing solution I've ever seen (including Nokia S60, N810, iPhone, Windows Mobile). \
It just works transparently and quickly and I've never seen any duplicates, even when \
it was on Android 1.0.
