Have been looking for a free way to sync Google Calendar with my Nokia (E65) for almost a year. Where earlier versions of GCalSync were buggy, this one seems to do the trick. Using it for a week or two it showed to work fast and reliable. And it’s free, what more could you want?

Hi, When trying to install this on my N96, I goto the Wap site, I get installation problems when trying the signed or unsigned versions… Is there something I need to do to my phone first to get this app to work on it?
