Almost a year ago, Google introduced Google Sync. This allowed for a wireless reconciliation of your BlackBerry and Google calendars. Like many other Google/Berry users, I’ve found this to be an essential BlackBerry application. This, combined with the awesome IMAP capabilities on Gmail, means that I can sync most of my Google suite with my Berry. Except, of course, for contacts. We knew this day was coming, and it’s finally here. You can now sync your Google contacts with your BlackBerry. Freaking. Awesome. 
Ronen puts this in terms that get me excited: “They are getting closer and closer to a free BES-like service every day.” That would be quite cool for us BIS users, especially those that use Google for our basic services. You can grab Google Sync at http://m.google.com/sync. The version is 0.5.0, if you’re interested. In the coming weeks, we’re going to go over a few hacks you can use along with this new sync. So stay tuned.

I am using Google sync on my BB 9000. Since of late, I am unable to Sync my contacts. I receive a error message ” Sync Failed – Please try again later, if the problem persists try signing out of sync and signing in again”
I have done this a dozen time and yet the same error. Appreciate your suggestions.
