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.
