Absolutely.

However, Google allows me to have multiple calendars, and I separate
them there (personal, family and, possibly, work). By only having a
single calendar syncable, I can only have one of my calendars on my
N900. So, the only workaround I can have is to use a service like
nuevasync.com to merge all my Google Calendars into a single one for
syncing it down to my N900.

The calendar app on the N900 is very good, as is the provision of
multiple calendars. The assumption that most users will be happy
syncing a single calendar is, however, very wrong (see also the
multitude of threads on tmo about attempts to sync multiple calendars,
most of them falling back on SyncEvolution!)

The same principle which means I want to separate and colour code my
calendars on the device is EXACTLY applicable to me wanting to
separate and colour code my calendars on the upstream service (which I
can then share with my wife, etc.)

Cheers,

Andrew
