Questions on synchronizing Google Contacts with Lumia 920 (Windows Phone)I'm currently using an iPhone 3GS and iPad 2 but nonetheless I'm still a pro-Microsoft guy. Just waiting for the right moment to use a WinPhone and Lumia 920 is the perfect moment.
However, I'm kinda dilemma as Gmail is my primary email and also the primary place to store my contacts.
See my use case below:
- Gmail will still be my primary email and contacts storage
- Gmail and (future) Lumia 920 will be used to manage Contacts
- Contacts are synchronized from Gmail to iPad using a third party app. It supports custom label.
- iPad will be primarily used for productivity task such as presentation, document editing and email.
Now here are few the concerns and questions:
1. Hotmail/Outlook doesn't support custom label. It only allows adding limited fields such as Home and Home 2 and/or Mobile and Mobile 2. I can live with this by renaming all labels according to Microsoft standard. Hence, problem solved.
2. How are Groups managed in WinPhone? Say, when you assign a contact to a group called Business, does it automatically synchronized to Gmail? If yes, it only sync to Business or also (the default) My Contacts group in Gmail?
3. Are Contact Picture in Gmail also synchronized to WinPhone?
4. How often is the sync process in WinPhone? Automatically?
5. More importantly, can I configure WinPhone to only add contacts to Gmail and not any other form contacts storage such as Hotmail/Outlook?
Appreciate the replies and thanks.

No more Hotmail. It's Outlook now. And Outlook is much better than Gmail. It's simple, easy and intuitive


i registered @outlook once it launched
