I Keep Forgetting the Milk...

dusibello says:
I have RTM Pro.

I can't sync with my company-issued BlackBerry as it is an older 7100i that does not support 4.2...

I just installed the Gmail gadget hoping that I might then could view my RTM items in the Gmail app, but no luck there - it does not appear in any view or on any menu I can find...

The question: What is the next best available option to see my RTM items on the BlackBerry?

p.s. Other than the browser, I mean...

Thanks again!

The mobile site would be the next best option; I'm not sure if that's the one you were referring to or the main site.

Unfortunately those are probably your options, aside from receiving email/SMS/IM reminders about your tasks on your BlackBerry; MilkSync requires the BlackBerry OS 4.2 because of some internal systems that are offered in 4.2.

You can subscribe to them in Gcal, and then use Google Mobile Sync to add them to your BB calendar.

ranbarton's idea is also good, if Google Sync is supported on 4.1. (I think it is, but I'm not sure.)

If you decide to go that route, follow our iCalendar instructions to add your RTM to your Google Calendar.

Thanks.

Yes Google Sync is supported and works on 4.1...

My Gcal and Outlook calendars are synced with my BB calendar. Any calendar items added to Gcal or Outlook have been showing up nicely on the BB cal app for some time.

I have added the RTM ical feed to my Gcal per the above instructions, but Google Sync does not seem to see the 'Other' calendars. So while the RTM events are making it to Gcal, they are not making it to the BB

When I force Google sync, I see it cycle through my several Gcal calendars, but it seems to not see or bypass the 'Other' calendars...

Aha - those 'Other' calendars show up in Google Sync > Options and what do you know - the RTM is unchecked... Now maybe we'll seem them RTM events...

And there they are! Thanks guys - good workaround.

Probably getting greedy here, but notes I have added to RTM items do not seem to survive the transition from RTM item to Gcal event...?

Would be extra sweet if they did...

Cheers,

The notes are included in RTM's iCalendar; the "Description" field in Google Calendar is where the time estimate, any tags, the location, and any note(s) are stored. I'm not sure how this field synchronizes with Google Sync, but I seem to recall that field being synchronized.
