Setting up Google Sync on my Nokia 5800 after reading the announcement on Wednesday made me very happy! Whatever I edit or add on my phone’s calendar or contacts automatically show up within minutes in my computer. This works from computer to phone as well. Since the data is stored by Google, it is also accessible from any computer I use with internet connection. The best thing about this is I don’t need to manually sync each time I make any changes. Thanks Google!

Setup

Setting up Google Sync requires installing Mail for Exchange on your Nokia handset. Visit m.google.com/sync from your desktop and follow the instructions.

Not perfect

I’m really glad that this is finally supported on Nokia phones, but it’s not perfect. My all-day entries show up as 12AM-12AM appointments on the phone. Other users also want multiple calendar support that is not currently available.

Have you set up push calendar and contacts on your phone yet?
