Google Sync For S60 Devices
Gets New Beta and Support For Calendar Sync

Earlier today, Google launched a new BETA version of Google Sync service that add support for calendar data and now enables phone users to sync the contacts and calendar applications on their phones with their Gmail contacts lists and Google Calendar.

Since Sync is a two-way service, you can make changes on your phone or in your Google Account.

Since Sync uses push technology, the changes should automatically appear within minutes. And your information is constantly syncing, so it's up-to-date and securely stored within your Google account, even if you lose your phone. You can add or edit contact information right on your device or on your Google account on the web.

With Google Sync your contacts will always be up-to-date, no matter where you are or what you're doing. Another benefit of this service is that your data is automatically backed up to your Google Account, it's securely stored even if you lose your phone.

However, in an announcement blog post, Google's Software Engineers, Skeet and Douglas Gresham, noted a couple of issue. First of all Google Sync for S60 requires Nokia software to be installed on the phone. Google Sync also may remove all existing contacts and calendar events from your phone, so make sure to back up any important data before you set it up!
