Most of the users using different smart phones will be downloading some 3rd party apps to sync their Contacts & Calendar, I was using Ovi sync for my mobile till now, but after getting to know about syncing contact as well as Calendar directly to your phone it was more comfortable for me as I could see the Contacts in my GMail account as well. Also good thing is that, it gets synced when your email gets synced to your phone. It a fast service, you must try it today itself!
