Plaxo sync service is "closed", more precisely unavailable for a very long time, no forever !

Read this http://forum.nuevasync.com/forum/posts/list/15/300.page

Unbelievable that google is not able to give a better service !
Who are the Google's developers. Someone here ? We have to talk seriously

Unfortunately I don't know other contacts service. Plaxo was the deal !

Since Plaxo sync is dead the only way to store contacts over the air is Google contacts.
We can do this using nuevasync or google sync service
But both of them seems to be buggy when syncing field address.
We know that google uses only one field to store the address. Thank you google for this stupid choice !
So iPhone fields address are assembled in one google address field. But the field's order to sync one way is not the same for the other way and this for google sync and nuevasync.
Which mean that this is impossible to modify a contact other than from the application (Google WebUI or Contact iPhone app) it was created.

First an example with Nuevasync. I create a new contact on Iphone
Address:A1
Address:A2
Zipcode:Z1
Town: T1
Country: C1

After first sync, you can find in Google contact this address field
A1
A2
T1 Z1
C1

Which look likes good. It you change something from the Iphone, you still have the same fields order in Google.
But if you change something from Google, like this example:
A1-1
A2-1
T1-1 Z1-1
C1-1

After new sync, the iphone contact look like this:
Address:A1-1
Address:A2-1 T1-1 Z1-1
Zipcode:1
Town:C1-1
Country:

Amazing ! Isn't it ?

Ok, let's try with Google Sync Service.
First sync, contact created on Iphone
On google:
A1
A2
T1
Z1
C1

Changed Google to:
A1-1
A2-1
T1-1
Z1-1
C1-1

Gives on Iphone
Address:A1-1
Address:
Zipcode:Z1-1
Town:A2-1
Country:C1-1

So what can we do ?

Thank you.

Do you have some explanations ? Is it Plaxo actions to avoid Nuevasync working with their services ?

Some devices will fail to sync other data (calendar, email) due to the Plaxo failure so if you are having
problems please disable Plaxo sync on our web site (disabling contact sync on the device doesn't work).

Such a bad news ! Do you have plan to solve this issue ? Or is it definitively dead ?

I have two others requests regarding the ability to map google calendars to windows mobile calendar.
I think it will be interesting to have an option for tagging this kind of calendars in both way for read/write calendar and in one way (google to ppc) for read only calendar.
And then the ability to remove reminders in the same way.

There's a sharing mode in Google calendar that only shows free/busy state for another user. We don't currently support it though.

Allowing a calendar to be read-only is kind of supported at present in that if you only have read access at Google, we will throw away any changes coming from the device for that calendar.

Excellent ! But what about the others options (tag + reminders removed) ?

Why not ? Activsync protocol is not used end to end between Google and the PPC. I suppose that nuveasync's servers have to make conversions. So reminders informations should be available.

Thank you, this feature is absolutely essential for windows mobile.

Imagine, you want to set events according to the availability of an other co-worker. So you want to see his calendar, but you don't want to have his reminders activated on your ppc. And you want to do the difference between your events and his ones on the same view without filter categories. This two options can solve this issues.

This options can "simply" be available in front of each checked google calendar in nuveasync calendar setting account.

What do you think of it ?
