Re: N900: Support for Google Calendar and Contacts?
 
The device will sync with Nokia PC Suite via USB so its possible to Sync Calendar that way but not contacts...

I was hoping that the Conduit port would come back to life and be complied for Meamo 5 with Contacts and calendar support.

Well, the Mail for Exchange sync is over the air. Of course not everyone is using Exchange. I haven't tried the PC suite solution myself.

In this specific instance (ie sync with google), then Exchange sync is suitable as Google supports synchronising with an Exchange client.

Because if Nokia did everything, there'd be no development community?

Mail for Exchange does indeed seem like the solution. For some reason I can't get it working myself. For those who want to try, instructions are here: http://www.google.com/support/mobile...py?topic=14298

Do we know whether the N900 can support multiple Exchange type accounts? It would be useful to be able to sync with both Google and a real Exchange server.

There's one way to find out... I don't have "a real Exchange server" handy right now. I could try with Zimbra, I suppose...

Device to device sync over bluetooth works perfectly - I did it today with my trusty old N82 to the N900, using the normal Bluetooth "sync with another terminal" option.
