Google Calendar has gone mobile....
A most definate godsend for keeping up with my hectic schedule these days. I'd write a review, but I can't find the time. :(

ya know what, it works damn well with the N800.
This might be the first actual possiblity for me to use an electronic calendar.

Entries (via n800 on the mobile calendar) can only be entered via the quick add method, however if you write the day, date, and the hours into your entry, it is remarkably accurate....totally feasible to quick-add entries on the nokia, and only available to an ajax-ready machine to delete & modify those entries.

Yes, details can only be edited or deleted via a desktop or laptop for now, but for all intensive purposes, this really works quickly and accurately.

Coolest thing is that it looks and works exactly the same on my lame lg cu-500 phone browser as it does on the N800. Granted I often use that phone for an internet signal, I'll opt for a nice touch screen instead of a lame thumb-pad.

Another very nice network app:

ToDo List (http://todoist.com/)

I am accessing it from my N800.

This app implements some very effective keyboard shortcuts.
The missing modifieres on the broken n800 OnScreenKeybaord really hurt here!
But todo(L)ist is a pleasure even without these.

I can't get it to display the actual calander view. All I can get to is the window that has the "quick add" link. How to do it?

Also, this seems to have limited usefullness. You have to have an internet connection in order to pull up your calander? What if you don't?

That IS the calendar window. I know it looks funny, but try adding (for example) "dinner with mom tomorrow at 6pm" and hit the add button.

I live in the the bay area, always have my 3g phone, and keep the calendar page open even without an internet connection.

I didn't have any trouble getting GPE Calendar configured to pull from Google Calendar -- in terms of errors resulting from missing libraries, however I can't seem to get it to actually *retrieve* the data from Google Calendar (I read a few posts elsewhere that you need to specify the iCal (.ics) url link from Google Calendar, which I did, however no entries ever appear on my GPE Calendar (and I don't get any complaints from the software telling me the link or login is invalid).

Can anyone address this issue definitively?

I only got the error for the missing library by running it in a terminal so I got a verbose output. It doesn't show errors in the gui. Has anyone got this working properly.
