Automatic calendar synchronization on Symbian

I like to keep organized, but I don't like to spend time on it though. That's usually where 'notebooks' and daily schedules fail. Many of my ex co-workers use Microsoft Exchange to stay synchronized between their computer, workplace and mobile telephone.

My current solution involves Google Calendar, my Nokia E65 and a free service called GooSync.

This setup should work on most modern mobile telephones, such as Nokia, Sony and Motorola.

Step 1

Create your Google Calendar account, if you don't have one already.

Step 2

Create an account on GooSync and follow their instructions for setting up your mobile telephone.

Step 3

Sony Ericsson users can set up automatic sync so the phone keeps synchronized. Nokia Symbian telephones however have to synchronize manually.

Or at least, until today; when I found Bergamot Swim. It's a cute little program for Symbian, that allows Symbian telephones to schedule synchronizations.

Now my telephone always stays synchronized with my Google Calendar and it doesn't matter where I add the events.

Then of course it's possible to synchronize Google Calendar with many different types of calendar programs, but I'm not going into that now.
