For all those who are interested I have just read on lifehacker
http://feeds.gawker.com/~r/lifehacker/full/~3/EUyt7C_M7Qo/google-sync- keeps-contacts-and-calendars-in-sync-on-your-mobile-phone
that google has started a new sync service for mobiles.
The instructions for S60 can be found at http://www.google.com/support/mobile/bin/answer.py?answer=98230&topic= 15015
Currently the service only support two way contacts sync using syncml.
What is unusual that they make use of an exchange service for syncing with the iphone and windows mobile handsets using activesync. However, this does not work with Mail For Exchange but Google says it will support this soon - http://www.google.com/support/mobile/bin/answer.py?answer=138784&topic =15014
I have previously tried services like Goosync and have found them hideous especially when syncing across several devices with different OS. Examples being All day events not showing correctly.
I will be interested to hear from people how they have found the Contacts sync using this method. Before when I have used this I have found the Google contacts to be very restrictive eg, no duplicates and as such lost a lot of information.
