Google Calendar Sync
5 March 2008 Google Calendar Sync allows you to sync events between Google Calendar and Microsoft Outlook Calendar.
http://www.google.com/support/calendar/bin/answer.py?answer=89955
You can now access your Google Calendar account from your mobile phone! Just visit mobile.google.com/calendar/ with your phone's web browser and once you're logged in, you'll see your list of upcoming events with date and time information in an easy-to-browse format.
Cheers

there's a program called activegcsync, it is pretty good
woah way to bump and old thread.
hi, i developed a small tool to synchronize the google calendar with pocket outlook. is a beta but if you want to give it a glance. In future also sync contacts.
http://gsync.wordpress.com
Great app, works quite well.
One question though, I can't seem to be able to get the "Where" field to come across. Is this something missing in the app?
Also it could be cool to put a auto update every time we do a change on the calendar ....
or more simply every 15 minutes....
thx
Try www.nuevasync.com
It works fantastic with Google Calendar!!! PLUS there is no extra programs to install because it uses ActiveSync which is built in to WM6
Also, it sync contacts from Google Contacts or Plaxo... I honestly prefer Plaxo because it doesn't have the annoying "Suggested Contacts" and it keeps the format as last name first, but I would still recommend Google Contacts because there have been problems with Plaxo syncing due to "excessive usage" (according to Plaxo).
Hope it helps everyone
Activegcsync for multiple Google Calendar sync (WM5/WM6/WM6.5)
Try Activegcsync by Gil Milow. Unlike other software I have tried (eg. GMobileSync), it works very well for multiple calendars (and contacts). It is available free although I'm sure the developer would appreciate a donation for his efforts. It is software like this that at least keeps our Windows Mobile phones (WM5/WM6/WM6.5) functional.
has anyone successfully got this to sync on fuze?? Thanks for your help.
I Timing was perfect, the truth was just the first synchronization with the phone for GPRS.
Contacts synchronized for a long time (196 contacts) for about 15 minutes
I Diddnt know googlesync had a version for PPC yet.. But i have had no issues at all with neuvasync.com for my contacts & calander from google & I just use Pocket Outlook for the email.
I set up for the management of Google
http://www.google.com/mobile/default/sync.html
Calendar syncs with Thunderbird, contacts, too, with the help of a plugin Google Contacts
I can get it to sync, more or less, with my Polaris. It will display an error, but as far as I can see my whole calender is synced.
I have seen quite many posts that get the same error and it seems it has something to do with Googles Exchange server. But don't ask me, I don't know how the stuff works
thanx for the help
I went to the link on google already and still couldn't get it to work. Anyone tried the service yet?
Google Sync works fine on my X1, just followed the instructions and it worked. Only issue I had was the format it brought some contacts accross as (e.g Surname, Forename not Forname Surname)
My wife and I are swtiching to Android devices (EVO me, Hero or Moment for her), I wanted to setup the sync as follows for the calendar. I am not to worried about the email as she can just do POP for now.
We both use Outlook on our computers setup like this:
She is just connecting to POP mail
Mine is my company mail (via the DAMO LotusNotes Connect)
Both view shared google calendar in outlook
I don't have a clue how to setup the sync, what I would like is:
I would have to sync my work calendar via wire (HTC Sync) or LN Traveler for OTA (they already added me to the server)
I could sync the Google shared calendar OTA
She could sync the Google calendar OTA
The part I want to make sure of is I was trying this with my windows mobile phone and I could wire sync my work calendar and see google calendar in outlook. But as soon as I added to sync to the Google Calendar OTA via ActiveSync, it pushed all my work appointments up to the google calendar. I wanted to keep the google calendar just the family stuff (you know running the kids around)...
Thanks for any and all help, It was pretty easy when it was just me, adding her to the mix will make things better in the long run, just have to figure out how to do it!
I've got a Hero which can sync with Google and with my office calendar/email which runs on MS Exchange. The phone successfully keeps them entirely separate. I can change one or the other, sync OTA, and the each calendar continues to contain only the appointments it's meant to. I realise you aren't going to be using MS Exchange, but if Sense (HTC's customised version of Android) knows how to keep Google and Exchange calendars separate, it should be able to do the same for anything else. Furthermore, it knew how to have a separate 'Outlook' calendar when I tried syncing via USB and ActiveSync. I didn't experiment much with that as I stopped using it as soon as I got OTA syncing to work with the Exchange server, but it considering that it recognised it as a separate calendar in its list, it should still do what you want.
Another option for you may be to completely swap away from Outlook and use Thunderbird. That knows how to sync to Google calendars and address book, but I don't know if your DAMO LotusNotes Connect system will work with it. Both these features are done with plugins, so it's possible that there's also a plugin for your work's system. Thunderbird also handles IMAP messaging better than Outlook; at least, better than Outlook 2003 did. I mention IMAP because your wife will have to stop using POP if she wants to be able to read her emails both on her computer and on her phone - POP isn't designed to have multiple computers accessing the same email account. It wants to download emails off the server and delete the remote copy; you can make it just download them, but I don't think it would then know to mark them as read or unread.
Thanks, sounds like I will have to do some playing.. We are using Outlook 2010 and it is the best update for some time. I have my kids and mother-in-law on Thunderbird, just not us.
You can setup Pop to leave messages for X days unless deleted, this is how I have been running for my one pop account, it works fine but yes you get some dups, not a big deal.
I have thought for some time about making my linux server my mail server as well, heck, I think I could link that to whatever accounts I desire then have it do the push mail, that would be an interesting setup...
Again, thanks, sounds like we have some playing but it should work fine.

I have just pruchased a nexus one and getting it next week. I am wondering will it automatically sync my contacts and mail from outlook 2010 or do I need some sort of additional software on my win 7 PC to do this?
Thanks in advance...
Is there any solution to get synced with outlook/windows calendar and contact?
The focus is on google applications, so if you search for ways to sync them with google calendar etc it will sync that way.

Yes I understand even if, IMHO, they can't loose integration with M$ systems...
However I used google calendar sometimes ago trying to keep synced blackberry, nokia and outlook... it made me a lot of confusion because it duplicates calendar appointments and gave me also other problems...
Now I can give it a try again.
But, what to do to sync contacts?
I found Google Apps Sync for Microsoft Outlook.
I'll give it a try..
If you have any other suggestion you're welcome

I tried.. it requires Google Apps Premier version.. unusable due to 40€/year subscription needed!!
So I need to find another way again.

try this: http://www.android-sync.com/
It works a lot like htc sync. It does contacts and single calendar entries. they're still working on recurring calendar events.
I'm still looking for a fully working solution.
I tried android-sync but I can't get it working. App hangs during sync and I can't have feedback about sync status.
Actually I can't believe there is no official way to get my device synced with my PC... how anyone can use the phone without contacts and calendars????
Do you think this is why froyo is not an official release?
I use gsyncit http://www.daveswebsite.com/software/gsync/ to sync outlook contacts and calendars with gmail then phone obviously syncs with the gmail server. Gsyncit works very well and is very customisable. At $15 one off cost it's a bargain in my book. (prob the first software I've actually bought)

Hi Diamond...
do you need to manually press the sync button or something to sync any changes you made in your outlook?
for wm6.5...when u change something in outlook...it auto sync with the phone
i am a bit hesitant to move to android due to this
thanks
jack
how have you guys been syncing your Thunderbolt to your PC? I use Outlook for contacts/calendar and Chrome for a browser. This is my first android device so I am lost trying to get all this stuff on the phone. I had a windows mobile 6.5 phone prior to this and it made syncing a snap. Any tips would be appreciated.

They have a app for 39 bucks which requires 2 other apps to sync which is a rip in my thoughts .... what i did was export my contacts to a csv(windows) format file onto my desktop. From there i logged into my google account online, imported the csv file under the contacts page, and advanced. and then once the contacts were uploaded online, went into settings sync on my phone and added the gmail account there and everything was sync'd for FREE
*** For calendar appointments do the same
now u have the questions of updates, it's gonna be kinda tedious and i have NOT tried it yet but i was thinking every tyme i have a new contact or calendar item i will have to forward the individual contact as an attachement to my gmail and add to my contacts, and for the calendar appt i was thinking i can email the calendar appointment to the gmail adcount......
Googleapp sync will NOT work unless u have a GOOGLE Business account, i tried and failed :-(
Hope that helps
I tried using htsync but it locked up my pc every time.
