Sync your S60 phone to Google Calendar with CalSyncS60

The problem with PIM software on most mobile phones is that it ties you down to using whatever apps the phone designers thought would suit – either a plugin for something generic like Outlook (over my dead body) or a lame custom-made desktop version of the phone’s own calendaring software that is incompatible with anything else.

CalSyncS60 will, in theory, allow you to sync your S60 3rd edition phone’s calendar with a Google Calendar. Google Calendar is another one of Google’s many spin off services – a pretty full-fuction calendar and scheduling app with a web interface and an API that helps it integrate into many other similar projects.

CalSyncS60 is still very much beta software and currently only syncs over a wifi connection. But sync it does, and the ability to near-instantly place your appointments on the web is a useful one. Given that this is freeware, it is certainly worth a download and an encouraging email to the coder responsible, in the hope of an update.
