NuevaSync merges all google calendars to the local N900 calendar. I don't know if there is a chance to sync to multiple calendars. It is very reliable so at the moment I think this is the best what we have...
Zaheerm: how's the status of the implementation of your google sync tool?

...
I also use NuevaSync to sync Google with my iPod Touch, and on the iPod I do see all calendars separately. So one would assume this'd work...
Just tested... Adding an appointment in the N900-calendar syncs to the main calendar in Google.
FYI; From NuevaSync:
Possibly, if the phone itself supports multiple calendars. At present the only device we know with multical support is the iPhone.
The service merges calendars for all other devices, including at this point the N900.
We can add a special mode where we can de-merge the calendars for your account. Then you can test and we'll find out if it works.
There are other devices that have native multical support, but still don't do it for Exchange sync (e.g. the Palm Pre). It would be
nice if the N900 isn't like this.

I'm surprised no one has mentioned NuevaSync as a tool to sync the N900 with Google calendar/contacts.
I have been using it to sync several devices with Google for quite some time now. And since last saturday I also use it on the N900. Works like a charm
Just thought I'd mention it.
And because of Exchange Server error the N900 won't let me save the Exchange account.
Not good.

Obviously though, there seems to be some work to do

I would love to test your tool - I don't care for the GUI because I could just run it from the X-Term with some parameters...
However, I checked the repository - there is a .cpp file, so I assume that I need the compiler and libraries to create the binary. Do you think you could provide a compiled binary? This would save much time, for me, being a simple user.
thanks a lot

Nuevasync works better than Google Sync but not perfect. If i merge contacts they don't get synced back to Google. Sometimes it decides to resync my whole contacts. Then i have to merge them all again. No good Solution. Antother Problem with contacts is that if i assign a image to a contact on the phone it also doesn't get synced back to Google.
I am not really happy with the N900 because of this sync issues. On my Symbian devices i have used GooSync. It was a good and reliable sollution. MfE tells me half the time, that it can't reach the server. Push Mail isn't working. Sometimes i have to reboot the N900 to get it syncing.
The most annoying thing is the mail sending issue if you use MfE and Nokia Messaging. Outgoing mails are always moved into the outbox of the MfE Account. I have not enabled mail sync on MfE so they never get sent. This is a known bug and i hope they will fix it. Until MfE istn't working perfect i will disable it. It's a bit annoying to manually maintain the devices calendar and contacts but it's the only workaraound available.
