Try Erminig.

Syncs multiple calenders, automatically sync daily, and can be run from the command line.

And what about contacts?

Is it necessary to use the NG version, which is not even in devel? Or does the devel version work anyway (I just need it for calendar)?

They are now one in the same. The package you're after is:

http://maemo.org/packages/package_in...rminig/0.2.11/

It works perfectly well to sync your calendar, it doesn't do contacts though.

I haven't seen or heard anything from nuevasync... (rapid check: no, it is not april 1st).

Bad news if it is true, but it is *their* decision. I wish Nokia got its act together and offered syncing for Google, but that is too much to expect for a 500 Euro gadget...

Paai

To me 30 a year in not bad. I went a head and upgraded. So far the only problem I have had is with the always on syncing failing one out of three time so i am doing syncs ever 15 min with no problem. I am using all there sync features and my phone is much more usable now. Also paying comes tech support so any issues that come up there is a support system to get them fixed So, sounds like a win win to me.

Followed your advice and tried out erminig.

I for one cannot recommend that path (yet). First it duplicated all my entries on the google calendar. After correcting that it seemed to work on a download-only basis, but after some syncs my local calendar was missing some entries that were there before and still are on my google calendar.

EDIT: Will try to find out whether those problems are because I didn't start from scratch (i.e. only the google calendar populated with data when first synching.)

Meh... It's not so much the price, I don't like paying for anything that used to be free!

This worked for me (sofar...):

Just to be safe, back up everything first...

Use the built-in Mail for Exchange for Google calendar (not contacts) (look here)

Use syncevolution-frontend for Google contacts:

• Delete local contacts (DONT delete them by highlighting all, this will deleate all Skype contacts etc. globally) by going to contact settings->Delete all contacts from device
• Install syncevolution-frontend and press Add new service
• Give it a name in lower case (very important)
• Press Synchronize! and hope for the best

Workes for me. If not, run syncevolution-frontend in the terminal and try to figure out the problem from the output. Good luck!

My first post here...

I had used NuevaSync for maybe two months until somehow it fell out of sync with my Google Calendar. It's broken between NS and GC. So total re-syncing NS<>N900 won't fix it. And NS does not offer a way to re-sync itself with GC. I figured that only way to fix this is wipe my GC and reimport all events. And I don't like that - who knows when it will happen again. That's the main reason I never like usiing third-party-server sync since effectively there are two syncs in between.

Here is what I'm using:
Erminig-NG for multiple Google Calendar (cons: doesn't support alarm, some tricky or exception recurrent event may not work)
SyncEvolution-frontend for Google Contacts via SyncML. (cons: doesn't sync birthday - but I sync Google's Contact's Birthday calendar via Erminig, so I can still see the birthdays in my N900 calendar)

Missing the alarm is my biggest complaint now, but other than that I am happy so far.
