Syncing my google calendar to my cellphone

Better than receiving an sms, GooSync bridges between my google calendar and SyncML which means I can bi-directionally sync it with the calendar built into my SonyEricsson phone.

It works pretty well. They support Google's new auth method that means you don't need GooSync to store your details. Unfortunately they don't have that working with Google Apps domains (which I use), so I have to use their other solution which involves them storing your details in their database (apparently encrypted - although obviously reversible somehow... I think they encrypt it with your GooSync password).

The auto-config sms didn't seem to work (I received the settings, but they failed to apply on my Z800i) but it was easy to manually enter the appropriate settings. Then the first sync failed, but all subsequent sync's have worked fine. I've set my phone to sync once a day so I'll see how that goes and report back on the bandwidth used.
