To sync contacts, you can use a service called funambol until it gets figured how to sync from your google account.
http://my.funambol.com/
goto the website and signup. You can sync to your account my downloading the WinMo client or if you use outlook on your computer, you can get the outlook plugin.
Then all you need to do is download the opensource android funambol client and it'll sync to your android.
