I found out when I heard Nokia starts selling 3310 again, that it does not
implement syncml anymore. I just did a quick search and found this
http://www.synthesis.ch/dl.php/1526/SyncML_Client_for_Android_en.pdf which
means synthesis finds or fights it way.

I wish I could help more.I have one Nokia 5530 XpressMusic (just checked -
it is ~40€ on ebay) that works well. It might be that older models are
cheaper and work too.
