I've just been looking at the web pages for DreamLife and Riyala, which look very interesting. I use multiple gCal calendars (8 active (i.e. editable by me), plus subscriptions to various iCal and others' gCal diaries), and - of course - gMail.

For calendaring, I'm currently using Handy Calendar on the phone and gCal on the PC, with goosync to sync all the calendars (using short calendar id prefixes in the subject to identify each calendar at the Symbian end) - which works well, but is a little "unfriendly" in the calendar UI. I tend to sync the calendar regularly (it used to be daily, using Swim on my E90, but now that it's a manual process, it doesn't get done quite as often!)

For contacts, I have (trial) DreamConnect on the phone and gMail on the PC, with google sync for the contacts (which has issues - during the last sync, some (but not all) of my surnames got first names added into the field on the N97, so instead of First name Fred, Last name Bloggs, I now have First name Fred, Last name Fred Bloggs). I'm currently working my way through my contacts to change them back, but I'd rather not have to do it again! My contacts list doesn't change that often, so I sync that more infrequently.

Both sync processes are entirely manual (as Swim won't run on 5th edition ... or even 3rd edition FP2, I gather), and not at all user-friendly, so I'd be very interested in a more seamless solution, which Riyala appears to offer (among other things - the dossier feature looks useful too - even better if it will integrate with Evernote ).

Anyway, my question is: Do you have an upgrade path / special pricing for users who already have DreamConnect (the only product currently available on S60) to upgrade to DreamLife and add Riyala when they become available?

Yes, we will have an upgrade path, that will offer discounts to upgrade to the higher functionality products. We're still working on the details of that, in terms of pricing.

We're currently pushing to get Google Calendar sync into DreamLife -- apart from that it's ready to go. We think built-in CalDAV syncing is critical on the S60 platforms.

Once we've got it beta-ready, we'll sign you up -- it sounds like you'll be able to do a good job of testing it.
