Horde SyncML will provide server-side syncing, which means you don't need 
desktop-sync (or: you must not use desktop-sync too, as it will duplicate 
anything).

Blackberrys need a plugin for that. There is an OSS-plugin coming from 
Funambol with known limittions, but there are also commercial plugins.
