Accessing Google Contacts via SyncML is limited by Google's incomplete data mapping (no BDAY). Accessing via ActiveSync (https://bugs.meego.com/show_bug.cgi?id=23773) is limited by the ActiveSync protocol (for example, only one work phone number).
The best solution probably is a dedicated SyncEvolution backend using the gdata API + library. Instead of passing serialized vCards between Synthesis engine and gdata, it should be more like the sqlite demo backend and copy data between fields directly.
