Setting up a HTC HD2 to sync with Google Mail, Contacts and Calendar

Since I just got my HTC HD2 – which by the way is absolutely gorgeous – I had to set it up to retrieve all of my contacts, appointments and emails. All of these are hosted on Google.

Here is how to set up the HTC HD2 (which is a Windows Mobile phone) to sync with Google (for GMail, Contacts and Calendar)
