Plaxo is my favorite contacts management. It allows us to sync our contacts with many popular applications, including Microsoft Outlook and Mozilla Thunderbird, as well as online services, including Microsoft Live/Hotmail, Yahoo!, Google/GMail and even LinkedIn.
How about S60 devices? Since Plaxo does not support SyncML yet, it is not that easy to sync our S60 devices with Plaxo.
There should be a limited support on some S60 devices from the US operators. Unfortunately, I haven’t tried it because I don’t live in the US.
There is a third party application, called Sync2App for Plaxo (Series 60). Unfortunately, it doesn’t come for free. Besides that, it supports only older version of S60, i.e. 1st and 2nd Edition only.
What can we do with Plaxo from our S60 now? Until Plaxo supports SyncML, there is not much we can do.
One solution that we can try now is sync Plaxo with Outlook and then sync Outlook with our S60 devices. It is not perfect; but it should do the job.

No offense. Plaxo is good software, but it is a famous spam.

I use Plaxo with my MacBook Pro and Nokia E61. Everything goes into iCal (to/from the E61) and grabbed by Plaxo.
OTA sync for Plaxo would be nice but if my life is that crazy-busy to require real-time sync, I should get a Blackberry + Exchange and be done with it.

Check out ZYB, it’s using SyncML too. Looks like they’ve recently added some trendy social features also.

@Jukka: You’re right that ZYB supports SyncML already. The thing is that it doesn’t allow us to sync to Outlook or Thunderbird. Currently, it is a problem for me. Ideally, I would like to have a service that supports SyncML and (at least) Outlook. That would be perfect.
