We need multiple calendar support asap! Anybody know any developers who could handle this? Let the PMs begin.

You could sync to ScheduleWorld and then have ScheduleWorld sync to Google calendar.

What I (we) want is over the air wireless syncing.

Question on Google Contacts sync via Mail for Exchange. The contacts that get populated on the N900 do not contain all the 'contact information' that is stored within my Google account. The only thing I get is the Name, and Email. I cannot for instance, get the address or phone number and sync those. Is there something I am missing? Thanks in advance.
I suggest raising a bug, but there are three possibilities:
- Mail for Exchange doesn't support it.
- Google's Exchange server doesn't support it.
- ActiveSync doesn't support it.
#2 and #3 aren't fixable by Nokia in Mail for Exchange, and so this where there'd be an opportunity for Hermes.

I am not familiar with scheduleworld but I assumed it would work OTA. There are other 3rd party services as well, I know for instance nuevasync uses MfE and claims to support multiple Google calendars, and I *assumed* it works OTA.
Haven't used anything like this though and for obvious reasons can't test with the N900.
There are a lot of questions and discussions floating around regarding (multiple) calendars, sync and MfE and I personally would definitely like to see a solution to this.

Having basic (one way only) support for multiple calendars should be a day of coding. Two way sync is a bit more difficult, but again it should be possible in a week or so.
I can write a sync client in the beginning of December when we get our devices, unless someone will do it first.

So that is currently there. I will raise a bug about the syncing and that will hopefully unravel where the problem lies.

Ok, since currently sync of: Phone#, MSN, Skype name, etc does not work, is it possible to atleast export contacts as vCard from GMail, an then import it into N900 Contacts?
Is it then possible to use for example the imported skype name when making a skype call, or must you enter or "move it to another field" somehow manually?
