Yes,  but you don't need to use a Funambol client;  Funambol implements
SyncML strictly according to the SyncML client.  Any SyncML phone should
*theoretically* work to some degree.

And the Synthesis client on the Palm is the official testing platform
for the Funambol connector [http://bionicmessage.net/funambol/]

In general the actual Funambol clients seem to not be nearly as far
along as server.  Part of the whole problem here is that PDAs like
WinCE, Blackberry (RIM), and Palm are not SyncML devices [natively]; on
the other hand many *phones* do support SyncML [natively].  Seems very
odd to me.

The Funambol Palm client does not support Calendar, only Contacts.
While the BionicMessage's Funambol/GroupDAV connector only supports
Calendar.  Ugh! :)    Currently Calendar is the most important to us.

There isn't any kind of matrix/grid anywhere that I have found that
indicates that types of objects are sync'd for what kind of devices.
