Google Sync Now Includes Sync with Contacts

First your calendar, now your contacts.

Google might just be on their way to cutting the USB ties for BIS users. Google’s updated free Sync application which formerly only synced your calendar with your BlackBerry will now wirelessly sync your contacts from your GMail account to your BlackBerry! More…

This latest version is 0.5.9, and you can download at m.google.com/sync, of course from your BlackBerry browser.

From the Google site:

• Synchronize your contacts. Get your Gmail contacts quickly and easily to your BlackBerry smartphone. With Sync, you can have access to your address book at any time and place that you need it.
• Get calendar alerts. Using your BlackBerry smartphone’s native calendar, you can now access your Google calendar even when you don’t have network coverage, and be alerted for upcoming appointments with sound or vibration. It automatically runs in the background, so you can attend to other tasks and still be reminded of your appointments.
• Always in sync. Your calendar and contacts stay synchronized whether you access it from your computer or your phone. You can add or edit contacts or calendar entries right on your BlackBerry smartphone or on your Google account on the web. Synchronize one or many calendars at the same time.
