I keep getting this error:

can't connect to the device to synchronize belboi 900.

I still have 9.2 MB storage memory, and at between 6.8 to 7 MB of system memory when I try to sync.

Does anyone else experience this problem or know how to solve it?

Yeah, had to do it the hard way. Deleted all past appointments, then do a full sync. Quite a bummer. Seems an entry in the past appointments was corrupted or something.

I also had this problem.
Mine was the contacts db. I had to many large images. I used contact link to get them from the db, then I resized them, then used contact link again to put them back into contacts db.

I have discovered that this problem can be caused by long notes in entries in iCal. My guess is that the phone receives an entry with a big note, and sends a message back to iSync saying "No room!" - iSync interprets that as saying the phone's memory is full.

Once I Googled this discussion, I noted the comment about Address Book entries with big photos. While my problem was with calendar sync, that set me thinking, and I took a look at the entries added since my last successful sync. Sure enough, I'd imported an entry from Entourage (using the Sync iCal-Entourage script) that had an email message in it, and that had given me a long note. Once I deleted the excess text, iSync worked fine.

I've reported this to Apple.
