Hello list,

I hope I'm not bringing up something that has already been dealt with. I
couldn't find anything in the archive about this, so here goes:

Has anyone had a successful experience providing calendar services to
Android phones? AirSync seems to be the way to go, but there are
numerous tools on the market, none of which are cheap, and all of which
have distinctly mixed reviews. Ideally, I'm looking for something with
an experience comparable to using an Android phone with Google calendar
i.e. pretty much set it and forget it.

I have a very narrow data point. I have a Samsung Moment, which runs Android 1.5 ("Cupcake") and includes (free, part of the Sprint load) the Moxier Mail ActiveSync client. Setting it up with a CGP 5.2.18 server went without a hitch and it has been working well, although I do not make it work very hard. I have had an event invitation echo once, apparently an artifact of a sync loop between the phone, CGP, and iCal. I have yet to fully analyze what causes those incidents (also seen by iPhone users) but the published AirSync fixes in 5.3.x seem to address that area.
