To clarify, "Zimbra Mobile" is the name of the product that Zimbra sells to give direct access to Zimbra from certain mobile phones. As far as I know, it doesn't do SyncML.

The Connector being discussed in this thread, although located in the "Zimbra Mobile" forum, doesn't actually have anything to do with the Zimbra Mobile product. This connector is a plugin for the Funambol SyncML server. Here's how the data flows:

ZimbraServer <--SOAP--> ZimbraConnector/Funambol <--SyncML-->PDA

So to use a PDA with Zimbra using the SyncML language, you need to install a Funambol server separate from the Zimbra server.

And although the installation of Funambol is relatively straightforward, getting it to work with the Zimbra Connector and then getting it all to work together is definitely non-trivial, as the discussion on this thread indicates. The Zimbra Connector is in what I'd call an "Alpha" stage right now, so if you like hacking on software, by all means give it a try, but don't expect reliability right now.
