Synchronisation nightmare

I thought I'd take a look at how my various information stores synchronise with each other.  I have a Facebook account, a K750i mobile phone, an iPAQ rx3715 PDA and Google Apps (well, not strictly Apps, but close enough).

When I plug my phone in:

• It synchronises contacts with Google Contacts via myPhoneExplorer
• It synchronises appointments with Google Calendar via myPhoneExplorer
• It synchronises notes with Outlook

When I plug my PDA in, or use a data connection to ActiveSync:

• It synchronises Mail, Calendar and Contacts with Google
• It synchronises notes with Outlook
• It synchronises files into a folder in Documents

When I have an appointment reminder:

• The PDA goes "ping pong" to remind me
• Google Calendar takes focus to remind me
• Google Mail has a little notifier in the corner
• My phone vibrates to remind me (it's been on silent for the past five years)
• The next morning Outlook decides to remind me that I've missed whatever it was

Needless to say, I don't miss many of my appointments. 

I use Google Contact Sync to update my Google Contacts with their Facebook birthdays and mobile numbers.  Google Calendar Sync is supposed to keep my calendar in sync with Outlook, but it goes wrong a lot, so those appointments and contacts usually come from the PDA.  GMail is added as an IMAP folder in Outlook too.

Am I going a bit far with it all?!  Sometimes Google Sync doesn't work with my contacts, and they all get deleted off my PDA.  Apparently this is because of an error somewhere in one of my contacts, but I can't find any.  I've recently started to use my mobile a lot more as I've switched Pay & Go plans to one that gives me unlimited (read: 500MB) internet and unlimited (read: 12000) texts if I top up £15 in a month.  I'll probably end up using the free month, then spending the £15 the next month, and so on.  It's nice to be able to get on the internet wherever with either my PDA or my laptop!

I was going to end by saying "Life is better connected" but I think it's already someone elses' slogan and I don't want to get sued.
