To sync blackberry mobile with caldav/carddav, we can use a
carddav/caldav plugin for opensync. caldav plugin exists already but I
think that the code isn't updated.

It could be an other solution. But today, it works well. I don't need
more.

I'll wait the next blackberry mobile generation that works as playbook
(so with caldav/cardav native support).

With PlayBook I can access only to cardav/caldav features provided by
owncloud. So contacts and events are synced without addons. But, I can't
use it for data (files, documents...) ! But I'm writing a client for it.
