Syncing advanced cell-phones with Yahoo and Google Calendar
June 20th, 2006
As an update to the previous post, on syncing cell phone calendars, it has been brought to my attention, that newer phones has some further possibilities of syncing with Yahoo and Google Calendars.
Users who prefer the Yahoo, has the possibility to download the Java app Yahoo GO which offer a wide degree of integration with Yahoo, including Calendar, contacts and e-mail. There are however series limitations to the number of phones it works on. Put in another way it only works with Nokia series 60 phones (9 different models all in all).
For Google users the opening of the Calendar API has resulted in the creation of GCALSYNC, a java app which is capable of syncing a cell phone with Google Calendar. However, this app is still in beta and only supports a limited number of phones (and not my Nokia 6610i, but a lot more than Yahoo Go).
If one has an advanced phone this might be a the way to go. Although in my mind a lot more complicated than if everybody could agree on using syncml.

[...] As I noted earlier it is possible to sync with advanced cell phones via the free application gcalsync, but I just read on Matthew Millers blog that there is also a commercial solution called Companionlink. I am hoping that this maybe supports more phones. [...]

just my 2 cents…
os x tiger with the latest updates natively supports a wide variety of bluetooth phones and you can 2 way sync them with ical using isync. might be a simple solution that will save you some time and money (obviously once you can two way sync between gcal and ical everything will be that much better)
Cheers

Thanks for the heads up. I think I’ll try the Yahoo Go and see how it works. My main problem is the little screens. Gonna take some getting used to.
