There are lots of Funambol users who use various Nokia phones,  so I'd
assume SyncML support in them is pretty pervasive.

Sort of;  it depends on the version(s) of the Palm OS databases and the
version of pilot-link.  Palm (or whoever owns the software now) made
some changes to the database format and some of the database names a
couple of years ago.  I'm a Treo 650 owner and I've seen related
compatibility problems.   Pilot Link (0.12?) was modified to work with
the new formats but that caused a small change in the API so some
applications puke.
