Hmmm, how can I find out?
Besides mail for exchange it allows to add an CalDAV account. Is this a
SyncML protocol that'd allow me to sync to a Funambol server?
If yes, it is only for calendar, I suppose?

Besides there exists a sync functionality (I guess this is Buteo?) that
just allows syncing via Bluetooth. I used this successfully to sync with
my N900.

Is there something I can contribute to motivate you / accelerate this?

Of course, I am more than available for any testing activities.
Also, I am willing to contribute directly. I have programing skills but
no experience with PIM or syncing, and MeeGo/Harmattan neither.
