Mobile sync has screwed up my contacts. Each time I sync it adds the contacts as duplicate listings. My contact list of 650 quickly became 7000!

My findings — I’m having the same issues — tell me that it’s an incompatibility of BB OS 4.5 and GoogleSync. Go back to the last revision of the BB OS (4.4.2) and Google should work fine.

What you’ll lose: Camcorder, and a few default pictures.
What you’ll gain: A working calendar.

You guys should try http://www.thinkpost.net – it works so much better. I found out that Google deletes stuff not within the timeframe of 1 month before and 6 month after – my future dates get deleted!!!

Did anyone figure out why the sync does not work from Blackberry to Google? I see what I input online on my BB but what I input on Blackberry does not show up online on Google. Any updates???

I use plaxo. just sync your BB with outlook as usual,then hit the sync button on outlook, it will sync with plaxo and google calendar. you need to install a small app for outlook. this will install a toolbar in outlook.
plaxo will sync hotmail and others too.
go to plaxo.com. I think it works well, no problems.

Google sync looked like my solution. My enterprise uses NotifyLink which is a complete disaster as a synching product to Groupwise. I synched to Outlook, exported my calendar as a csv file to get all my current entries into Google calendar. Loaded Google sync to my ATT 8800, I was a pig is S _ _ _.

Then… I realized that not all the entries that I was creating were synching. I gave my secretary full editing permission to my calendar (and asked her to keep a record of all changes while I test the syncing.) The initial tests passes. When we moved to “production”, I saw that some appointments that were created on Google calendar never synched to my BBerry, and some from my BBerry would appear on the calendar and then vanish from my BBerry.

Oh well, Sync needs to go back to Google labs. it’s not ripe yet…

Today I went to look at my calendar to discover that somehow my BB, or Google Sync, deleted all of my events after January 18… several months worth of plans and notes. They were also deleted from my Google Calendar online. Why did this happen?
My support line tells me that it’s because the Pearl 8130 only has so much available memory and deletes things to free up space. If this is the only rationale, I am not impressed. If I have to worry about my stuff being deleted, then I’ll have to carry around a paper dayplanner, and that totally defeatrs the purpose. Help!
