We wish there was :(
Google still needs to get their act together on suggested contacts in Gmail.

You can read about all of it here:

Please follow the link to Google and petition this request! Thanks! :)

hey that sucks! what's your username and i'll set you up.

hey Joey,
funny we were just talking the other day about the exact same thing. We'll be discussing it further and see where it takes us :)

hey soocial! bleh :p

I want to add a disclaimer: there are some known quirks with the sync clients on the Motorola phones. We've found certain Moto phones to swap first names with last names for instance. Let me know if the above works fine for ya.

Hi Todd, sorry you're out of luck with the Razr2 V9m (as far as I can tell). They don't support SyncML on the V9m.

For the Razr v3, try this manual setup:

Setting Up Your Motorola Razr to use Soocial
Step-by-step guide to configuring your Motorola Razr calendar to synchronize your contacts using Soocial

1. On your phone, from the main screen, press the menu button and select "Settings".
2. In settings, select "Connection".
3. Select "Sync" (NOT Bluetooth). Note to T-Mobile subscribers in the USA: It seems that all T-Mobile Razr V3s in the United States have the menu item for Sync setup turned off by default. You need to edit the SEEM to get it working.
4. Select "New Entry".
5. For "Name", enter anything you want. I entered "Soocial".
6. For "URL", enter the "http://sync.soocial.com".
7. For "User Name", enter your Soocial user name (e-mail address).
8. For "Password", enter your Soocial password.
9. For "Data Paths" choose the "Change" soft-key. Enter "./contacts" for "Phonebook".
10. Select "Ok" and then "Done". You will see a "Changed" message.
11. To synchronize your contacts, go to "Settings", "Connection", "Sync", highlight "Soocial". (or whatever you named it), and press the center navigation button (the circle with the dot).
12. You may want to create a shortcut on your phone to make this easier for future syncs. To do this, go to "Settings", "Connection", "Sync", highlight "Soocial" and press and hold the menu button until you see the message "Assign Shortcut for: "Soocial" select the "Yes" soft key.
13. To synchronize your contacts using the shortcut, select the "Shortcuts" soft key from the main screen, highlight Soocial (you can press the number before the shortcut to jump to it) and then press the "Go To" soft key.
14. After it finishes synchronizing your contacts, it will give you the message "Sync completed. View log." Select "Yes" or "No" using the hot keys.

Let me know if this works for ya!

hey beans,

we are thinking about a limited alpha release. If you would like to participate please send an e-mail to support at soocial dot com

Our priorities at the moment will be focused on connecting with webmail services first (Yahoo Mail, Hotmail/Windows Live). LinkedIn, Xing etc are alos important to us. Social networks make less sense, but when they open up and make two-way syncs possible syncing with these networks become very interesting of course.

In the end we aim to sync with all the apps where you have your contacts.

hey Mark,

I'm sorry but Facebook owns your data. You can't sync e-mail addresses and cell numbers outside of Facebook, even with their so-called 'open' Facebook Connect.

Hi Cas,

we just had a planning session this afternoon, and we hope to have SyncML 1.2 support within two weeks. Keep you posted!

hey Sam,

we are working on communicating better, and that includes better communication about new features we roll out. So you can count on as communicating the day we activate multiple Gmail accounts.

Sorry about that. That's not cool. We'll have to communicate it clearer, when selecting 'erase contacts in Gmail' that GTalk contacts will be deleted too. This is actually a big thing, because Google's API doesnt distinguish 'My Contacts' from 'Suggested Contacts' or from 'GTalk contacts'. Hope they will fix that soon. – Daniel Spronk, on November 17, 2008 15:08

Just to make sure, did you log out of both accounts? And it still doesn't show radio buttons where you can choose one or the other?

Maybe you can logout of your Gmail account and have your Gafyd account logged in?

Let me know how it goes.

@Zoolander: we're planning to have our beta versionout within the month. Our 'beta' version won't have these label bugs ('other' instead of mobile etc.) anymore.

@Adam: we're looking into that. It seems i.e. that Outlook 2003 only supports one URL. When you mention addresses, do you mean snail mail addresses or email addresses?

heya,

would this thread solve your issue?

cheers!

Connections are activating fine again.

Glad to see it's solved itself! :)
