I don't want to beat a dead horse here, but I've had the Droid X for a week and have spent most of that time researching syncing Outlook with it. As a long time Palm user, this is such a basic function, I'm surprised more people aren't trying to do the same thing.
The reason I started a new thread is that the ones I have found on this forum and others is scattered about what we are trying to do, so I wanted one specific to what I am trying to do. I hope there are others who have or want the same thing.
1) This isn't about email. I have email working. Outlook isn't an email client, it's a PIM that has email built into it.
2) I don't have Exchange. Outlook exists on my laptop. I want to synch with it. What I want to synch is Calendar, Tasks, Contacts and Notes. I've been doing that for 15 years with Palm. I can't believe it's this difficult or the developers didn't think of it.
3) I can use the cloud if that's the only option and it works. I don't know why that would be the only option. Droid X came with a USB cable that can hook it to my computer. It has Bluetooth which communicates with my computer. Most of the time, they are both on the same wi-fi network so they can communicate with each other. That's 3 ways my DX and laptop are connected. Why was moving things from one to the other never part of the plan?
So, having said all that, this thread is for people who want to sync Outlook PIM files from their computer with a PIM on the Droid X. Is anyone doing that succesfully, easily and consistently. Cost is not the issue.
