Is it possible to have Google Mobile App for BlackBerry installed on my BES blacberry bold and if so how will this affect the contacts and calender on my bold. Basically, if I install Google Mobile App for BlackBerry will it write over my current work exchange contacts and calender of will it just sync with my current contacts. Can exchange and gsync work concurrently

Thanks

the gmail app doesnt affect your contacts. and it will work fine on your BES unless they block the port

sorry I may not have explain myself clearly. Its the calender aspect of google sync not gmail

I wouldn't do it at this time if I were you. The Google Sync app won't update appointments on the device if another client (BES in your case) is adding events to the calendar. Further, the Google Sync app deletes old items from the calendar in such a way that it sends cancellation notices to all people that had been invited to that meeting that happened 3 weeks ago.

If those 2 things weren't enough, Google Sync will remove appointments from your phone that don't occur during the next 24 weeks. It doesn't delete them from your Google Calendar or from Outlook, but you won't see them on your phone. Using BES, it would place those future appointments right back on the phone. Then you deal with the events not updating on Google Calendar.

For their part Google says that they know of these problems and are working to correct them.

I'm not using BES, but I do use Google's Calendar function on my desktop. Is there any reason not to use the Google mobile app to synch my desktop and Bold?? Thanks.

No, if you aren't on BES and the whole sending cancellation thing wouldn't be a problem for you then Google Sync (not the Google Mobile app) works great.

Back your stuff up before you do it just to be safe and let it go.
