I’ve been using Google Calendar at home for the joint family calendar. Makes it easier than me manually typing the calendar ever week or so.
Being the mobile guy, I kept looking for any hint that there’s a mobile version.
Well, after looking at some of the mobile-savvy URLs that Google has, I was able to guess the URL for Google Calendar Mobile: <http://www.google.com/calendar/m>.
It really works well, quite mobile-savvy.
Google has constantly been delivering quality mobile apps that make great use of the Internet. We could all learn a lot from watching them.
Hi, Have you tried GooSync? It syncs your S60 with Google Calendar (twoways!)
Excellent:

Using Opera on an S60 3rd edition phone, I just went to http://www.google.com/calendar and it loaded the mobile version automatically.
I had a quick go with GCalSync but it didn’t work on this S60 3rd ed.

I’ve just given GooSync a go now — you need to register — it’s hard enough from a proper computer so don’t try with on the phone. Seems to works well on a first attempt. There are restricions on sending the auto-configure SMS, so here are the sync profile settings for future reference.
Open Tools->Sync application.
Sync profile name: GooSync.com
Applications: Calendar only
* Include in Sync: Yes
* Remote database: Calendar
* Synchronisation type: Both ways
Connecioin settings:

Oh, and I’ve not tried this yet:

You might want to give GooSync a go.
Ive been using gcalg for a while now and been using GooSync for my mobile sync and Calgoo for my offline sync with icals, outlook, etc.
Together they rounded out the gcal experience enough that I could get rid of exchange all together.
I tested the Google SMS reminder thing yesterday. Both Google Calendar and my phone have the same time zone. I created an event on Google Calendar entry for 5pm with an SMS reminder for 10 minutes beforehand. It arrived at 9.50pm!
