I don't think there is such a thing inside Nokia.

The existing Nokia isync plugins are for Symbian S60 phones. S60 and Maemo are
two very different plattforms.

I don't think there is any magic in Nokia's plugins, the magic really happens
inside OSX isync framework. Which is closed-source. Extending it is not
trivial, since it assumes certain things that maemo currently does not provide.
Like a working interface to run AT-commands against the phone over bluetooth
and usb. Without that, you are mostly out-of-luck afaict.

> Syncing against Linux shouldn't be a real problem, as syncevolution exists.  

Syncevolution only does syncml OTA (over-the-air, i.e. a tcp/ip connection).
The N900 does not support that.

The only solution to sync linux using SyncML over BT or USB, is afaik opensync.
Which currently does not support the N900, but I guess that is possible to
change.
