I use GooSync to sync my Google Calendar with my mobile.  Basically you 
should be able to sync (over the air GPRS or 802.11x, rather than having 
to use a cable) with anything that supports SyncML.  No idea about any 
free software stuff, but there's a few services online that do it.

Google Calendar has a beta offline version (using Gears) if you need 
that.

That will sort your appointments and back up your contacts.  Don't know 
about tasks, memos or keys though.  I don't use the Nokia stuff for any 
of that on my crappy old phone.

Depends if you'll be happy with online services.
