Google Sync for Multiple Calendars and Full Search Gmail now available on Windows Phone

Finally, support for multiple calendars on Google Sync is now available on Windows Phone too! For those who have been using Google Calendar with multiple calendars, not having support for multiple calendars have been a huge disadvantage for me to adopt the Windows Phone 7 device as my primary device, but not anymore!

How to set up:

  1. Simply go to m.google.com/sync on your Windows Phone device.
  2. Select your device.
  3. Select the calendars to be synced (up to 25).
  4. Tap save.
  5. Note that your new calendars won’t show up until your phone’s next sync with Google’s servers-every 30 minutes by default.

To manually sync your calendars without waiting, follow the instructions here - http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2430181.

Futhermore, Windows Phone users can now search Gmail messages that have not been downloaded onto Windows Phone device! A long awaited feature finally here!

More reasons to get a Windows Phone device, maybe a Nokia Lumia 900 might interest you. :)
