I've used an N97 for a few months, it is a solid phone. Symbian S60rev5 based.
(I am switching for other reasons to htc touch pro2 and then to N900.)

Note that the akonadi opensync resource is in flux as far as I know. It is 
probably relatively easy to get it fixed again, but a few weeks ago people 
assured me that it is broken so far. So you should check into that question,
which is independ of the phone.

I've tried the following libraries from opensync:
 libwbxml-0.10.7
 libsyncml-0.5.4
and was successful to export my contacts once, as reported to this list
in November.

I do not have the phone in my pocket anymore. So it really depends on the 
questions if I can help, because my time is very limited, but you can try and 
I see what I can answer. No promisses. :)
