I have google sync and Live and myphone all working. I use google mainly for calendar but since live may be getting that feature is wave 4 I may be able to drop google. Myphone is great for backup.

Those of you using Google sync are you using it through the Google Apps Premier or is there a Google Sync available for free use?

I played with the Google Apps Premier and for $50/year it isn't bad. I've read about all of the things Google Sync doesn't do (compared to Active Sync w/Exchange), and they're relatively minor in the grand scheme... but I couldn't get the Outlook sync to download to even try that out.

I want to be able to use Outlook & my TP2 to sync with my own email (not gmail) and calendar. Basically the same solution as Google Apps Premier.

As I understand it there are a few things that don't sync through Google that DO in a hosted Exchange setup. For example if I download POP email to a folder (from a Yahoo acct) on one Outlook client on my office PC, activesync will replicate that folder to my exchange account and thus (more importantly) it then gets replicated to any other laptops that I use Outlook to access the same Exchange email on. That wouldn't happen using Google sync, correct? Also I understand that flag for follow-ups (I use this a lot) don't go through google sync so follow-ups I do on one Outlook client won't show up on any others if I was using Google Apps Premier with the outlook sync.

Right now I'm using hosted Exchange through 1&1 for $6.99/month. The cheapest I've found and works without problems. Switching to Google Apps Premier would have saved me $66/year vs hosted Exchange for 2 accounts but not sure if the few minor sync problems would really bother me, and if I was just changing and loosing features, just to change...

Sorry to ramble.

Howdy all,

What do people use to sync their TP2 with Lotus Notes?

I use nuevasync.com for contacts and google calendar. I like it because it handles multiple calendars.

Lotus released EasySync Pro 4.2.7 in January that is supposed to resolve the sync issues for htc devices and Lotus Notes. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to find a copy of it. I have our IT folks checking, but they're moving about as slow as molasses... up hill... in winter. Other versions of EasySync Pro will work the first time after install, but once you reset or re-start your device, it errors out.

I asked my It group as well and might have well asked a wall. THe IBM products page is no help either.
