Fish, if you use google (gmail) under WinMo, you can sync your gmail, contacts, calendar using Microsoft Direct Push; it works great! I use it and have the schedule set to "As items arrive" which instantly delivers mail/calender events between Google's server and my TP2; there's no polling involving (hence push mail). It works great because when I use Android, all the data are synced exactly and I don't miss anything. The only exception is that texts (sms) aren't synced so when you send/receive in WinMo (Android) you won't see them in the other OS.
Here's how to setup Google under WinMo:
- Go to Start->Outlook->launch ActiveSync (it may be under another folder, I use VINdows so it's under Outlook)
- Menu->Add Server Source…
- Enter your email address, uncheck automatic configure (I can't remember the exact option but you'll see something like it), then click ‘Next’.
- Enter your user name (full gmail address), password and domain as ‘google’ (this may be grayed out so you don't have to enter it), then click ‘Next’.
- Enter ‘m.google.com’ at Edit Server Settings, then click ‘Next’.
- Select Contacts, Calendar and E-mail (if you want). Edit the sync setting if needed.
- Finally, click ‘Finish’. If everything goes well, Windows Mobile Phone ActiveSync will start to sync between Windows Mobile Phone contacts, calendar & mail and Google Account
How is everyone "syncing" their texts between WinMo and Android?
