I have started development of a app that will sync google contacts over the air with the blackberry address book.
Its very early days and im still learning as I go. Beta to be ready in about 1 week from now.
I have made a new thread to keep people informed of the progress and also ask for help and ideas.
I had to think of a name for the new app and decided to make my own name instead of a generic "gmail contact sync". The app will be called "Conjola Sync"
Overview of Conjola Sync
Open source - free to use
2 way sycn with gmail contacts and blackberry address book
"Over the air" solution - no need to hook up to USB
Again - early days and ill be learning as I go. I will require some beta testers for real world tests (not just the blackberry simulators).
Ill keep everyone up to date and informed as I progress.
Like I said before I can't wait. You are a champ for taking this on - I hope others with know-how will step up to help being that its open source. Keep us posted - I know I'll be counting the days

Will Conjola Sync be able to use a share "contact / contacts" function like the online Google Calendar/Google Sync?
Hi Dstar
I think this function would be great (i would benefit personally from it). The problem is i dont think there is a setting in gmail that allows for sharing of contacts.
Does anyone know if you can actually share contacts (without handing out your password)?
If this is possible, the the share contact function would have to be scheduled in the 2nd release. Need to get the basics done first then we can work from there.

i have no idea if this will apply, but it may just be the kindling to start the fire.
The script relies on handing out your username and password. I dont think there is a function that allows contacts to be shared out. The google calander allows you to share with other users without handing out your username and password.
I look forward to seeing what becomes of this app. I'm glad your are taking on this challenge, as there don't seem to be any other good solutions out there.
If you need any help with any kind of testing, let me know. I have an 8320 on T-mo,OS 4.5.0.46.

Thanks for the great support everyone. Good to know people are keen and I have received some really great offers through the forum and PM.
Yes - Conjola will be a 2 way sync - uploading blackberry contacts to gmail and downloading gmail contacts to blackberry
Regards
If you need a beta tester for an ATT 8820, let me know. Ill definitely give it a shot. Thanks for doing this man, you are gonna make my life a lot easier
