Ran across a reference<\/a> to a new tool from Google, Sync for Mobile<\/a>, which lets you sync your Google Calendars with your Blackberry calendar.<\/p>\n

So I start pondering this as a way to get my work Exchange calendar synced onto a Google Calendar, which would make keeping track of items there a *lot* easier than either firing up Outlook outside of working hours or poking through my Blackberry to look at it.<\/p>\n

Alas, after reviewing the help forums<\/a>, it looks like it’s not quite ready for this setup. In particular, there are issues with synchronizing to GCals other than the default (which is not<\/em> what I want, even as an initial step), and there are even more serious problems with GSync deleting old events on the BB (and recurring ones more than 6 months out), which then Exchange treats as deleted, too. Yikes.<\/p>\n

So … maybe something to wait for a while before installing.<\/p>\n
