I tried an early trial by Bynari. It almost worked (calendaring & imap 
issues, if I recollect). That was several years ago and I haven't tried 
it since.

I also checked out Samsung Contact back when it was HP's. It was pretty 
good then. Had no major issues I recollect. Presumably it has gotten 
better since then.

Not very current info, but hope it helps a smidgeon.
