November 1, 2009 4:04 AMCan one do syncing of notes, todo also the same way? Doesn't google support others?
November 1, 2009 4:06 AMExcellent, that was clear and worked first time, unlike the various opaque instructions in Google Help and on the Nokia site which had me scratching my head and swearing at the cat!
November 7, 2009 4:13 AMIt didn't work for me.
November 10, 2010 9:34 AMIt only said: Invalid host address... :(
