Exchange-like contact synchronization without exchange?

[tacotoy]

strange, im assuming that you have enabled full imap support on your gmail side? i just checked and there are no calendar settings really on google. another thought when i have had some issues, you can only sync those items to one source sometimes without errors. is your phone set up to sync you calendar to both your computer and to google? try turning it off on the computer side and see if it works then

if it does and you still need some way to get your calendar into outlook then just look for google calendar sync for the pc... it will pull your calendar info down from the cloud and can also push it up so you dont have to stay logged in to google calendar
