| Re: Sync Blackberry w/ Google Calendar - GCALSYNC
I tried this earlier on my 7100r. Not a fan.
#1 - When it synced for the first time, all of the stuff that was moved from BB to Gcal or the other way around, had the times all messed up. I was assuming this has something to do with time zones. BB is MST, and so is Gcal, but I have a strange belief that it's referencing everything to Norway time (where the guy who wrote the program is).
#2 - Some items in the BB cal which were "day long" events with 0 min duration showed up in Gcal as being 24 hour events.
#3 - The time thing mentioned above was annoying enough to mention twice.
#4 - Being that I use Outlook at work on the BES, which is updated wirelessly, and my primary use for the BB cal is for work, having Gcal sync isn't a big deal. Plus, there is only 1 calendar on the BB. If there was support for multiple calendars, that would be ideal. Then I could have a work cal and a home cal and keep the two separate. Work would sync with BES, and home would sync with Gcal.
#5 - Calendar events marked as "private" in BB and Outlook were made public on Gcal.

Don't get me wrong. I think it's a great little app to sync with Gcal. But for my needs and use, it's just not what I'm looking for.
