Just wanted a review of the best and useful Online Calendaring sites that most of you use.

To review a few I have tried ...

Google Calendar
It is the most full featured and on the N810 browser it shows of pretty well.
Bit slow to load the full page on a 3G connection though.
Has a quick Add function at bottom of page (is date and time context sensitve as the desktop version)

GCal mobile version (so no need to tweak browser setting to emulate iPhone)
www.google.com/calendar/m
see screenshot below...

30Boxes

Another very clean interfaced online calendar.
Doesnt seem as detailed as GCal, but is nevertheless quite functional and also popular (you need a site which has some popularity and on which you can expect to see your friends also, otherwise theres no purpose to online collaboration).

Can import GCal and othert calendars into 30B. Nice features in comparison to others is integration of Facebook, Twitter, Flickr, MySpace ID into 30B to view all these online presenses of your friends and buddies who are online and sharing with you and vice-versa.

Like GCal, you can see buddies online who you have in your contacts at 30B. Contats integrate with Yahoo, Plaxo, GMail, Hotmail. Lots of sharing options on this calendar. All in all, pretty cool.
I really liked 30boxes because of the nice ways of classifying events without creating several calendars and also the shortcuts and features.

The 2nd screenshot of 30B is the iPhone version. Sadly it wastes lot of whitespace on the horizontal display of the Nokia IT.

MyMemorizer

Its a nifty calendar to remind yourself of events and send reminders as emails or as SMS.

While novel in its time, now all online calendars (or nearly all) do this... GCal send SMS to the phone too, so dont know if this online calendar has any other differentiating featue at the moment anymore - apart from the fact it seemed to load up fast on my IT and fits the screen pretty well too.
