Just click on the calendar and select all the calendars that you want to sincronize

I have installed the sync option on my CURVE. I have two calendars on my Google Calendar. One of them is for school and one of them is the default calendar. The only calendar syncing with my curve is the default calendar, and I cannot get the school one to sync as well. Any help?

If you add an appointment in your BB does it update Outlook?

Google has two separate Google Syncs. One for Outlook and one for the Blackberry. I am using both. I use Google Sync for Outlook so when I type something in Outlook it automatically updates the Google Calendar. I then use Google Sync for Blackberry so that the Google Calendar then updates my Blackberry. Essentially I update one calendar by hand and all the others get updated automatically. It’s a piece of cake and it works flawlessly. Cheers!

The Google program will only sync calendar events going forward. Pre-existing events are not included (and I have absolutely no idea why).

solution to that is: sync your blackberry with outlook (or whatever you use), export from outlook and import to google calander, clear your blackberry calander and sync… all the appointments will download to blackberry and future sync’s will work. It worked for me, though I did have problems with reoccuring appointments that had changes on some off the occurences, my tip is just to check anything important on google.

You might (like me) have your google calendar embedded in a website that need to syn with bb data

I bought syncmycal to sync outlook 2007 to Google calendar and downloaded the Google sync app for blackberry as a workaround to get my outlook to sync to the blackberry. Google does not sync all the appointments. I’ve tried everything and cannot get it to work right even if I delete and add appts. I’ve messed with Service books, etc and nothing gets the Google sync to capture all appointments. The sync software to sync outlook to google works fine and it’s $25.

Any ideas??

goosync.com has been doing this for awhile and it sync’s CONTACTS as well.
@t-will, I wish google had a task’s feature if they I just might stop using direct push and an email alias.

I wonder when Google will add a Tasks feature and Windows Mobile sync?

Now all we need is the contacts to sync and then I can cancel my BES plan.

I wondered. My BlackBerry calendar is full of appointments. GCalendar has none after a ’successful’ sync.

Ok it doesent work fully.

If you create an event in outlook then sync it to the BB it wont upload the changes to google. i had to re-create that event ON THE BB to get it to upload to google

I saw this on a friend’s Blackberry about 6 months ago. He works for Google in an unrelated project. He swore me to secrecy after I told him I had been looking for such a solution. He thought it had already been released. Glad to know it’s out there finally.

Go to Rimarkable.com. They have the OTA link in their posting. I just downloaded it and it works quite well.

This only for Calendar. AFAIK, there isn’t anything that will let you sync contacts w/ Google contacts. There are number of solutions for syncing Google calendar with your phone.

- GCalsync (WM5/WM6) (My favorite. free version lets you sync 1 calendar directly to your phone OTA, no Outlook/Activesync needed. The Non-free lets you sync all Calendars.)

Goosync (works w/ any java enabled phone) havent tried this as it doesn’t work w/ my Blackjack

RemoteCalendars – works but it’s intended for MS Outlook Google Calendar sync. You have to Activesync in order for it to update the Calendar on your phone.

@ Tyler Brock

You have to click the “All Products” link on the left to get the “Sync” option.

Why is this only calendar and why is it just Blackberry. Most importantly though why is this only calendar?

Where can you get this? The blackberry google updater shows no new updates and the link takes you to a generic page…
