I have been trying to get Google Sync working on my Pearl device. Here is my problem:
* I can sync from Google calendar to the phone - the events fill the Blackberry calendar fine. BUT - if I create an event on the phone, I cannot sync this to Google calendar.
SO: I thought I might be using the wrong calendar. I checked the calendar entries (Calendar>MENU>Options>Calendars=UNKNOWN). Unknown is the only calendar listed.
The very first events I entered seemed to be from this UNKNOWN calendar in a purple colour. These synced. However, after syncing, every time I created a further event the only calendar I could create this in/ send from was the gmail.com calendar associated with my gmail account (blue colour). Because I could not longer create events in the UNKNOWN account, they no longer would sync.
So, now I am in the position where I can create events on the Blackberry (using the blue coloured gmail calendar) but they won't sync. They won't sync because I can't create them in the UNKNOWN calendar (purple) that appears to be the only sync calendar - I can only use the gmail calendar and this does not sync.
Sorry for the long post, but can anybody help me use just one calendar and have this sync? I have tried and failed to remove the UNKNOWN calendar (deleting cical service books). I have also wiped the calendar from Desktop Manager and tried to start again but it is the same scenario every time. I can sync the first few events from the UNKNOWN calendar but after that it reverts to the gmail calendar.

Oh - one other thing: In Google Sync, there is only the option to select my GMAIL calendar and not the UNKNOWN calendar - the UNKNOW calendar is not listed! I guess why after the first sync nothing further syncs from the device to google.
Go to options>advanced options>default services, and make sure "Calendar (CICAL):" is set to your gmail, save what you changed, then try re-signing into google sync, and re-syncing. If that doesn't work, verify that the "Calendar (CICAL):" is still set to your gmail, and un-install and re-install google sync again. Let me know what you find!

Uninstalling and re-installing as well as re-sending the Service Books from my BIS provider seemed to do the trip. Thanks for your advice!
