Hello, my first time here. I have had Nokia phones for some time but never had an issue. I just got a new N97 Mini and I am syncing it with my Outlook 2007 calendar. It works just fine but I need to categorize the calendar, preferably with colors. Does anyone know of an app that I can use or another way to do this?
Thanx in advance....... 
SBSH Calendar
I use and recommend SBSH Calendar. I have it on good authority that SBSH Calendar (formerly "Papyrus") by SBSH.net will have category synchronization after two updates, possibly before the end of the year.
A couple of years ago, I compared Handy Calendar, AquaCalendar, and Papyrus (now SBSH Calendar) and picked Papyrus, which has categories, but doesn't sync them. I've been happy with my choice. Now I'm running MS Outlook 2010 and would really like to have Category Synchronization: I talked with the developers who told me it's planned for a future release (no date). I don't know if they'll charge extra for Calendar Synchronization.
You can buy SBSH Calendar on SBSH.net for 19.95 USD
SBSH Calendar on Handango for 19.95 USD
SBSH Calendar on SymbianGear for 25.07 USD
Note that SymbianGear (Germany) could end up being less expensive depending on your home currency (EUR, USD, GBP).

General Info
In order to sync categories, I believe you'd have to have special support for this either:
On the Phone and/or on the desktop computer.
On a Desktop Computer, support would have to be provided by:
PC Suite Sync
Ovi Suite Sync
3rd Party Sync or driver.
AquaCalendar
If you want category synchronization now, AquaCalendar v5.4 for S60 by Pocket Torch has an add-in that allows category synchronization with MS Outlook and Google Calendar called AquaSync v1.0. I believe that AquaSync must be installed on the phone, which is undesirable to me. Pocket Torch was bought out by another company (SBSH?) and so is no longer around. I believe that the last development work on AquaCalendar and AquaSync was in 2008. However, you can still find AquaCalendar for sale on various websites.
You can buy AquaCalendar on Handango for 34.95 USD
You can buy AquaSync on Handango for 9.95 USD
I believe that SBSH hired Pocket Torch's developer as well as acquired their applications, so perhaps that's the source of SBSH's category synchronization expertise.
AquaSync Ad Excerpt

Attachments
Attached are two Internet Explorer .mht files of the original Pocket Torch web pages for AquaCalendar and AquaSync.
Since .mht files aren't permitted to be attached, I renamed them with .pdf extensions. You'll have to name them back in order to view them in Internet Explorer or Microsoft Word (mht is a proprietary Microsoft format for storing a webpage in a single file. I now use PDF format for such things).
I hope this information proves useful,
Phillip
