I have been depending on my Google Calendar right since I started working in 2006. I had managed to sync my Google Calendar with my Microsoft Outlook.
Also, I have been a huge fan of GoogaSync (then called CalSync60 beta) till last year – Probably the easiest application to have a bi-directional sync with your S60 phone and Google Calendar
CalSync60 beta ended in February of this year if I remember correctly and I was panicking to get an application to sync my calendar with my Nokia E71.
You can find a post on how to do that here
Enter GoogaSync (Yes, the name sounds absolutely retarded). This app has a few let-downs but the advantages clearly makes it a winner
Pros:
Bi-directional synchronization
Really easy to use, syncing can’t be easier than this!
Support for multiple calendars
Automatic / Scheduled synchronization
Provides cost savings by using WiFi when available
Support for hosted Google Apps accounts
Support for normal Google accounts
Standard appointments, repeating events, birthdays and all-day events
Full synchronization and fast synchronization (transfers only changes)
Reminders and alerts
Configurable roaming protection keeps you safe from huge data bills
Secure and easy to use, your account information is not stored to 3rd party servers.
Cons:
Retarded name for an application
Kinda (very) costly for an application that just does 1 thing (Rs 1016 as a one-time payment which comes to around $22)
Initial sync can take up a HUGE amount of data
There is no option where I can download just the calendar entries for upto 2 weeks in the past

Is the problem with the multiple agendas already solved?
I’m very interested and tried it for a while (about a month ago). I destroyed my complete agendas…. I very nervous to sync agendas again….
Any experiences from others?

@Henk, I have tried out with multiple agendas and it works fine – One thing that annoyed me was that after a sync with GoogaSync with phone and Google Calendar and Google Calendar with Outlook, a few of my entries got duplicated. I HIGHLY recommend taking a backup of your Google Calendar before trying this out

I’ve just DL the Trial and tested it. Love it. perfect for what I need. The price of £13.80 isn’t too bad although I’ve got a query into them about whether this is for a 1yr subscription or a lifetime. My alternative was http://www.goosync.co.uk which is pricey at £40 for a lifetime sub.
