I've given Google Calendar about a year now and it's still a pain.
Anyone have a calendar & phone app they like better?

Got it synced to the app on my myTouch phone.
I thought it was losing entries randomly but eventually I realized what happens is that it logs you out with no warning. When that happens you can view the calendar like normal but if you input a new event you get that "oops" message along the top in the same place where it usually says it was successfully added. Then the message goes away so if you blink after inputting an event you might miss the failure message.

Then there's the Tasks List. I can see those on the PC but can't on the phone-- all I can see is the calendar events.

And I'd *really* like some handy way to just list some To-do items each day, stuff that doesn't need an assigned event time. Only way I can think of is to create an event outside normal waking hours and dump all the to-do items in the title. Then if I look at the calendar in Aganda mode I'll see the 'To-do Event'

I liked the Palm Desktop calendar that came with my old Treo but other than that I don't miss the Treo much.

1. Did you get the google sync app too?
I been using it flawlessly forever now. Also I have a Blackberry and it displays very nice all the google apps. I noticed other phones look a little odd at times

2. The calendar is in sync between the phone and any compute I log in on.
Does that sound like I have the sync app?

Can you see the Tasks list?

3. I mean this
http://www.google.com/mobile/sync/

And as for tasks they show up in my mail is that what you mean? But hey I am not trying to sell you on google. It isn't perfect. But it's free. I actually use google voice as well so I am pretty much "googleized". I have used BB Enterprise in the past and for the price Google Apps pretty much does whatever BB Enterprise does.
