I've been using SyncMyCal Mobile now for about 4 months (paid the $20 something for the Pro version) and it's been satisfactory.  I've had some issues here and there but overall it does the trick -- gets my Google Calendars downloaded into my AT&T (HTC) 8525 Windows Mobile 6 phone.  The biggest issue I've had with the software, though, is that it takes all 3 of my Google Calendars (Personal, Work, and Travel Schedule) and puts it into the single ...
