As long as i heard heard there are lot of working ways to sync over 
Google. Totaly lacking is a local sync without having a Google account.

Do you want to give your personal data to Google?

More promising are the sync projects:

Yes, i have. You can install a fully chrooted Debian (ARM) Image on your 
Nokia N900. That in fact means, that _every_ package which is in the 
Debian ARM Port Repository will run on the Nokia N900. I.e. OpenOffice, 
Kmail, Korganizer, Kontact et al.. what ever you need. But the display 
is to small to handle real desktop applications. At least you can 
synchronize everything whats in the chrooted Debian jail. (Hint: Take 
Unison). So, Kontact works on the small display, but it is too 
difficult to use it.

To adress the issue of small displays on tablets and mobiles the KDE 
Team is working on a Kontact version for small displays, meaning that 
you will have a native Kontact on the N900. That should adress all 
current problems.

> Respectfully yours,

Whatever you might expect, imho Android will not be the right place for 
syncing Kontact with the mobile phone. I think it will be only a matter 
of time till the Nokia N900 will have a way to sync with the PC 
Desktop.
