Google has a BB app that will sync contacts and calendars to their 
servers.  There are serveral SyncML clients, if my memory serves, that 
will sync to open source products.

Further, BB now supports IDLE, which produces "push" type (instant) 
email on IMAP.  Cyrus supports IDLE.  I am not sure about the others.
