So soon I will have an HTC Incredible from Verizon Wireless(http://phones.verizonwireless.com/htc/incredible/) . Finally a phone upgrade after living in the blackberry world of an 8830 world edition for a year. Don't get me wrong it has been a great phone, but its time for an upgrade. In the mean time i needed to start migrating my outlook contact and calendar somehow to my Gmail account.. Big Problem, normally this is not possible. at least not easily, but thanks to a program called Companion Link (http://www.companionlink.com/) which easily syncs my data from Outlook 2010 to my Gmail account with Photos and everything!

Now that that’s done with, I also need to sync my documents to my HTC Incredible or any Android phone with my computer online. I currently use Livemesh (https://www.mesh.com/) to backup and sync my documents not only online but between 3 computers. This program works great!, but does not sync my documents with Google docs nor does it have an Android app at the moment. ![syncplicity_logo2[1]](http://lh3.ggpht.com/_3xalSz1rGdU/S9NxIgYhsbI/AAAAAAAAAI0/sD6JrCtypmE/s1600-h/syncplicity_logo2%5B1%5D.jpg "syncplicity_logo2[1]")
For syncing documents with Google Docs Syncplicty (http://syncplicity.com/) should do the trick, not only can it work without disrupting my live mesh configuration, but it provides 2 GB of free space, can not only be used to sync files between 2 computers, but Syncs my documents automatically with Google Docs!!! Sweet!!! NOTE: I tried to sync my docs with Google docs, but does not seem to be working. if it works for you please let me know.![Dropbox_logo[1]](http://lh6.ggpht.com/_3xalSz1rGdU/S9NxJS2FRbI/AAAAAAAAAI8/0EG2e1N4hPw/s1600-h/Dropbox_logo%5B1%5D%5B7%5D.jpg "Dropbox_logo[1]")
After no success in syncing my documents with Google Docs I am currently now playing around with Dropbox to sync my documents between my computer and my HTC Incredible (android phone) (when i get it). Dropbox has a beta version of its app for those of you that which to try it now. (Links below)![otterboxlogo[2]](http://lh5.ggpht.com/_3xalSz1rGdU/S9UGnC_rcQI/AAAAAAAAAJo/s3WvzUqjEEo/s1600-h/otterboxlogo%5B2%5D%5B5%5D.gif "otterboxlogo[2]"){kind=small}
In the mean time I am also waiting for OtterBox (http://www.otterbox.com/) to come out with a case for the HTC Incredible. Why an Otterbox you ask? well its the only case I know of that will protect phones from drops, scratched even water (some models).![htc-logo-motion-blur[1]](http://lh4.ggpht.com/_3xalSz1rGdU/S9UM2svo_rI/AAAAAAAAAJw/EsIxhJkoC5k/s1600-h/htc-logo-motion-blur%5B1%5D%5B4%5D.jpg "htc-logo-motion-blur[1]"){kind=logo}
