sync settings

Hello all,
I am syncing my polaris to outlook 2007. I have heaps of contacts in outlook but most are for e-mail only and as I do not send many e-mails from the polaris I do not want the contacts for these people on my phone. how do I stop the phone from getting these contacts from outlook. is short i do not want all of my outlook contacts on my phone. I have found heaps of people where not all their contacts will sync so it must be possible.
thanks

Syncing gmail contacts

Before I got my WinMo phone I had all my email accounts in outlook, along with my contacts and calendar. I consolidated all of my email accounts into my gmail account. Imported all of my contacts and calendar entries.
I downloaded my emails to my phone through an IMAP connection, I sync my calendar entries between the phone and gmail. Is there a way I can sync my contacts from my phone to gmail without going through outlook on my computer?
I want to eliminate the middle man (my computer) in all the syncing so all of my stuff is available through my phone or gmail so that way if i'm at a friends and don't have my phone or computer I can still access information if need be.
With the contacts, in case its not clear enough, I synced all my contacts from outlook to my phone when I got it. I then imported all of my contacts from outlook into gmail. Now I get a call on my phone and then add that number as a new contact. How do I sync that new number into gmail without going through outlook?

tried looking here?

I was searching syncing gmail contacts windows mobile instead of pocketpc and gsync wasn't coming up on my search. Ill have to give it a try later. OGG Sync says it does contacts but the only thing I can find on it is calendar.
Thanks for the help

Gsync doesn't sync contacts from the phone to google. Somebody has to be doing this?

Try nuevasync.com

plexo.com + rememberthemilk.com + mesh.com = complete outlook replacement
Is paid service ($50/yr) but is by far the best I've ever used. Will sync your contacts and calendar with device/outlook/google/yahoo etc. I also use rememberthemilk to sync taks online, and Live Mesh for files and photos. Using Linux as a main OS forces you to find all the best-of-breed non-MS solutions, it's entirely possible to ditch outlook and still have 100% functionality replaced with online cloud services.

synchronizing gmail calendar

Does anyone know how I can synchronize my appointments on the calendar....It would be very practicle when I hard reset my phone.....

Gmail has an active sync profile. You can use it to sync calendar and contacts. I'm on my Diamond, so you should google yourself.

Thank you.....should of done it in the first place......nocomment.

Sharepoint Calendar synchronization

I have a Sharepoint Calendar on my network that is my primary calendar. the problem I have is that Activesync will only sync with the default Outlook Calendar. I have the Sharepoint calendar connected to Outlook 2007 but now way to sync it with the calendar on my phone, other than manually copying appointments from the SP calendar to the default Outlook calendar. I've searched for a few days now, not haven't found a good answer.
Any help on how to solve this would be greatly appreciated.

[Q] Can you sync birthdays in your contacts with calendar

Hi All
My calendar is currently displaying all the birthdays from FB contacts, but i would also like it to display birthdays of contacts who aren't on FB. Can this be done and if so how?
Thanks

I add in manually the birthdays of the contacts I want. Hit edit and there should a spot for it, or at least a area for notes (put the birthday there) I've only just gotten my Sensation but on my Nexus S and Nexus One there is an entry for birthdays. Sorry if that isn't what you were looking for.
Sent from either my N1, NS, or Sensation4G....

It's been my experience that if you sync with outlook & you have a birthday listed on a contact it'll sync to the calendar too.

Most of my contacts are sync from FB and the calendar displays the birthdays in FB. However i have a few contacts who don't have FB pages and i have entered their birthdays in manually in the people app. My calendar automatically displays the birthdays of my FB contacts but not the birthdays of people without FB that i have manually entered in the people app. I don't have any birthdays in my gmail and i haven't sync to my outlook as that is my work email and have no birthdays on there either. So i want the birthdays i have manually entered in the people app to display in my calendar. Can this be done automatically or do i have to enter each one manually.
Not sure if you have seen my other post, but when i enter birthdays in manually in the people app it doesn't display the correct day. For example if i manually enter 14th July 1965 and save the contact, i then displays 15th July 1965. So it's always a day ahead.

It works for me too. However, if I create the Contact on the phone with birthday included and then sync with Outlook, the contact will be created on Outlook, but w/o the birthday and will thus neither show the birthday on Outlook Calendar nor on the Phone Calendar.
Very strange.

interesting. I guess I should've stated that was when using WM, haven't tried it on Android like that. Good to know. I'll have to test this as well.
