Google Sync!

Apologies if this has already been posted, but I'm surprised at how good Google Sync is. I no longer have to worry about third-party things like OggSync for Google Calendar integration - now it just works, and it's pushed to the phone in about 5 seconds. My only question is why didn't they add support for push email? I still need ImapPusherService for that. Other than that, it's excellent, check it out at http://www.google.com/mobile/winmo/sync.html .

use 7 http://preview.seven.com/get/client/dl.do?b=def_seven it pushes email from all main emails and works perfect on the touch pro!

Completely agree

As for why no gmail push - google wants you to use android for that

7 is freeakin sweet! you should try it to sync your gmail with your touch pro.
it also can sync your contacts and calendar from google...

Here is the .cab for 7 for the touch pro... when you install it, it will freeze... do a soft reset and then set up your info.

works for me!

seven rocks... untill you get hit with the bill for all the international text messages...

I think there's already a thread on this in the Software forum (just wait for the thread merge

), but remember, Google Sync is just a beta and I would imagine Contacts and Calendar were just the easier of the services to implement quickly. You can bet they're most likely working on Push mail.

I wish mine would work...It stops at 100 out of 288. Would be nice if they post some 6.1 instructions...Any suggestions?

What is ImapPusherService? Is it easy to set up?

The only problem with seven (besides the international SMS) is that the e-mail doesn't show in the preview envelope on TF3D.

I'm now using Hotmail, it works well for me (I would love GMail in html format via activesync, though).

Too bad it uses ActiveSync. I already have an Exchange server. Would have been nice to have something to sync with Google's services without replacing my Exchange syncing.
