Although I use a Nokia phone, I do sync with the Google Calendar and Contacts, I find it's a handy backup and it means that the wife can see what I have planned and if she bothers to use Google Calendar, I should be able to see what appointments she's got planned. I'd not actually bothered to use the Calendar before (either on my desktop or on my mobile) but I use it all the time now. Now if I could just figure out how to setup Lightning to sync to Google, I'd be a happy bunny (can't say I've really looked into it much).Gordon Henderson wrote:I've never ever 'synced' a phone with anything. ... What am I missing?Well as I said I mostly want easy backup and restore. I use to download contacts to my Nokia Communicator from my Intranet based address book - but then I had a lot of contacts with a lot of details to track, and needed them the same at the home Office.My phone *is* my calendar & diary - I don't seem to have a use for a desktop equivalent. Importing a list of email contacts might be nice, but actually I rarely use the phone like that, preferring to use putty to a server and run pine... Maybe it's just me though...Nah I worked that way with the Nokia as far as Calendar was concerned.My next phone will be a Nokia N900. I'd have one on order now if I'd not bought something else last month (dive computer)... They're £500 sim-free though which I suspect doesn't tick any boxes for you.Maemo and Android intrigue me, largely why I asked here. Of the Android one the HTC Hero already seems to have generated its own set of fans. Although the ratings aren't all stellar. I'm almost sold on the T-Mobile Pulse. I could very much live with Google Calendar, as I use it for the odd personal reminder already. But I feel it hard to get a feel for these phones, as the review said the IMAP mail client was okay. I'd need to play......
