iPhone tip - Sync contacts between phones, Outlook, and email clients
A new, free data syncing service from Funambol enables you to wirelessly sync your email contacts to your iPhone. This eliminates having to manually enter or update contact information on your iPhone, or using a cable to sync contacts from Outlook, Yahoo, Thunderbird, or even other cell phones. Funambol does all this through a web app so you don’t have to download and install anything on your iPhone (they do offer a native app for Jailbreak iPhones, but since it does the same thing as the web app you should just use web app).
Funambol contacts are continuously synced with other sources so you can always access and use up-to-date contacts on your iPhone. This service is handy for backing up your contact data and makes it easy to update it online. Funambol for the iPhone currently syncs only contacts, but they promise to support syncing for calendar, tasks, and notes sometime early next year after Apple releases the iPhone SDK.
To start using Funambol, visit the web portal at my.funambol.com/iphone and register for a new account. It’s free.

It’s free but you can’t register since is in restricted use state !!!
Yeah it’s free and when you sync, half your contact pictures are deleted, some of your contacts are totally deleted and some of your contacts phone numbers and emails are deleted.
Other than that it’s a wonderful application… but I guess that’s what it’s supposed to do so it needs some improvement
When I am connecting my iphone 1.1.3 to the itunes a new massage appear on my home computer: calculating the time required to copy files and copying file, there are 4 possibilities:
Yes, yes to all, no, cancel
This massage doesn’t stop and
Than the itunes start syncing but nothing happened no sync between my iphone to my 2003 outlook this process run for several minutes and than my iphone stop and apple science appear on screen and after few minutes the process start again
