Personally, I can't stand browser-based solutions on my phone. To slow. The GMAIL client is great for e-mail, except it doesn't work with Google Hosted Accounts (unless you have a Blackberry), so I use Flurry for e-mail. Using the mobile browser-based e-mail is slow. Browser-based calendaring is even worse for me. On my Razr, with Chung Hwa telecom's data plan, it is just to slow to bother firing up the browser just to check my calendar or add an event. The only mobile-browser feature I use is Google Reader's web page. Which is still painfully slow, but easier to live with for reading through RSS feeds than trying to quickly check your calendar.
Google SMS services do not yet support Chunghwa Telecom users (Taiwan), so I can't even make use of that feature. Goosync has been the a godsend for me as a Google Hosted Accounts user in Taiwan. Now, if Google ever makes a calendaring application with the same quality as their Gmail reader, then Goosync will need to come up with some seriously compelling features to have any chance of surviving. On the other hand, I suppose some people will not want to have multiple calendaring software taking up precious phone memory and would rather have Google Calendar synced with their phone's native calendaring application, which is what Goosync does well.
