Personally hoping that we will see a Google Contacts Sync client for Meamo 5 - Since Android arrived all my contacts are in Google contacts...
No, unfortunately no syncml-over-http for the N900. So you cannot backup/restore your contacts on "Contacts on Ovi".

The setting in My Accounts for OVI is as badger says only for the XMPP-service that was formerly known as "Nokia Chat". That's not the same as "Contacts on OVI", although they are branded very similar (and hopefully those 2 services will merge in the future).

Regarding Google Contacts & Calendar: The N900 has an activesync client (called Mail for Exchange). Since Google seems to use activesync on Android, they expose Contacts and Calendar over that (settings here: http://www.google.com/mobile/products/sync.htm).

I just tried with the N900, works fine.
