Not to mention that development on it has seemed to completely stop. If you are using Microsoft Office and have Outlook installed, grab Companion Link and use it to sync the events with the black berry. But if you want wireless-over-the-air-through-blackberry-syncing, the best luck (which is still minimal) I've had is with the CalendarShare from Saraiya and it still doesn't even work that well: http://www.saraiya.com/documents/23.html I really thought Google would have gotten behind the BlackBerry or RIM would have for business users... but it's such a sterile landscape out there for BB + GCal I never got it working, it was driving me crazy after a while randomly syncing and creating my events at different time-offsets… when I finally gave up, I had 4x copies of every event on every day.

Like some of the events are a day off there intended time. What a pain! Actually I am noticing that it is making my calendar sync strange. Like some of the events are a day off there intended time.

I actually ran into massive problems with both GCalSync and Calendar Sync when trying to do bi-directional syncing, it was constantly screwing up my Google Calendar and creating duplicates on my BB, so I ended up just setting them to do 1-way syncing and that seems to do the trick. That's just a heads up incase you run into any problems. I'm not sure why this issue is apparently such a hard one to solve :( Stephen,
