I only use a shared calendar with my girlfriend, but I would wan't to use goosync (free) to sync my mobile phone calendar with our google calendar, but goosync only allows you to sync with your DEFAULT calendar. Therefore I would like to change my default calendar on my google account, but that's not possible at the moment. Anyone knows of a good way to "circumvent" this problem?

One problem we're having -- you create multiple private calendars so you have a colorcoded master calendar, how do you share just a single URL with your other team members w/o using a web site? All suggestions welcome. Great compilation, I’m sharing with the team.

Another annoyance is that email alerts can only go to your gmail address, not any of the other addresses used in your gmail account. I have to set up a filter to forward the mails to the account I actually want. Which means I see two of every alert. Annoying!!

Why does this matter? All invitations and synchs go to the default calendar; you cannot choose which calendar to add to. Your default calendar is the first calendar you set up. This is just plain stupid. Yet, I still use the calendar. Sigh. I love Google Calendar but one thing drives me batty — the fact that you cannot change the default calendar, or reorder the calendars.

Even when you’re on the road and can’t hook up your laptop you can still get your schedule sent to you. Text “next” to 48368 to get your next day’s schedule sent right to your phone." Actually "next" will send you the next event on you schedule, "day" will send you everything you have on your schedule for the day and "nday" will send you the next days schedule. I use this all the time at work where I can't access the net and it works great. “Access your calendar remotely.

Just tape the add in the Google search box and click on the Calendar button (can be found in the Google Toolbar Button Gallery). One more thing (I hope I didn’t miss it above):
