You might want to look into what's supported by OpenSync:
http://www.opensync.org/wiki/FAQ
The rationale is that PIM apps shouldn't have to support phones (or
other data sources), that's something else's job.
I'm in the process (that is, simmering on the back burner) of getting
it to work with my n810. I couldn't find a smartphone that did what
I needed, so I get a tiny dumb phone with Bluetooth DUN and the n810.
