How to synchronize Google Calendar and Microsoft Outlook Calendar with Nokia N95
I was looking for a way of synchronizing my private Google calendar events and my professional Outlook calendar with Nokia N95 8GB. As it turned out it is possible to have quite neat configuration with 2-way syncing to and from your mobile. What is interesting it can be used with other phones as well, not just Nokia, not just Symbian 60 3rd.
The solution has two distinctive parts:
- 2 way synchronization of Google Calendar with the phone
- 1 way synchronization of the Outlook Calendar with the Google Calendar
There is a free service GooSync which helps with first problem. It works with many, many different phones and as basic version is free. The biggest limitations of the free version is that we can synchronize just main calendar, so people using multiple calendars might have to consider using Premium version of service. As a result of registration and installation the goosync software you will have a new synchronizer added to the standard Nokia Sync application.
Next… To pump out events from Outlook to Google Calendar you can use Google synchonizer. Install it on a computer where you have Outlook (note: the supported Outlook versions are 2003 and 2007) and setup 1-way synchronization Outlook -> GCalendar. The application working as a deamon will push events every X minutes to your Google Calendar.
To synchronize your phone with your calendars go to the Sync application on your phone and choose the goosync.com http syncing. You can use WiFi or GPRS to connect to the syncing service. Unfortunately you cannot schedule the synchronization, you will have to do it manually.
