I'm sorry about replying to this topic so late, but I've been hitting
this issue too, running Funambol 8.0.4/Horde 3.3.5/Blackberry 9630
4.7.1.30 Simulator.  I'm guessing there are plans on updating Horde to
respond with vcards to the Funambol client in Horde 3.3.x?  As it is, I
need to patch our Horde setup as the Funambol client crashes with a JVM
Error on my Simulator if I try to connect to our Horde/Turba install and
synchronize contacts.  8.0.4 client works just fine if I connect to
my.funambol.com though.

I guess I'll try to get Funambol 7.1 working for our clients; I seem to
have a similar crash with Funambol 7.2.3.  Did they just drop SIF
support there too?  If so, love their definition of "smoothly phased
out"!

Best Regards
