1: 1 Nokia Multiple Google Calendar Support (aka @Cal)
2: 1.1 Background
3: Many devices are designed on the basis that each user has only one calendar, and so do not natively support synchronizing multiple calendars.  On the other hand, many Google Calendar users prefer to organize their events into separate calendars, such as one for work, one for family, one for church, etc.  In the past NuevaSync has offered the option to include the calendar name in the "Category" field of the event. This allows users with phones that sync only one calendar, but display the Category field (e.g. Windows Mobile 6.x and Samsung Android) to manage multiple calendars. Unfortunately some devices (e.g. Nokia, Windows Phone 7) do not support the Category field.  For these phones, NuevaSync has introduced the ability for the calendar name to be inserted into the event "Location" field, which almost all devices support.

6: 1.1 Encoding
7: Because the Location field is often used, and therefore may contain useful data, the calendar name is encoded and inserted before any existing field content, like this:
8: {code}
9: @Work Calendar, Conference Room 101
10: {code}
11: 1.1 Adding new events on the device
12: Using the encoding scheme above, new events can be added to any synced calendar on the device. For example to create a new event in the "Work Calendar", enter this in the Location field at event creation time:
13: {code}
14: @Work Calendar
15: {code}
16: To create an event in a specified calendar, with a value in the Location field, add the location field content like this:
17: {code}
18: @Work Calendar, Conference Room 101
19: {code}
20: 1.1 Calendar Name Abbreviation
21: To reduce typing on the device, calendar names may be specified using only the first letter of each word of the calendar name. For example "Work Calendar" can be entered as:
22: {code}
23: @wc
24: {code}
25: 1.1 Moving Events
26: You can move events between calendars simply by changing the location field to the desired calendar.  For example, to move an event to the "Family" calendar, enter a value like:
27: {code}
28: @Family, Aunt Tammie’s House
29: {code}
