Windows phone 7 raaaaaage!!!

You can't sync with OUTLOOK? MICROSOFT OUTLOOK??? MICROSOFT OUTLOOK???



:( excitement for Windows Phone 7 has dropped tremendously. Maybe I should get back to figuring out Google Calendar :/

That is totally preposterous! Was all set to winmo all the way about a year ago. Was excited about 7, really glad now that i discovered Android back in may now.....

I got Google Calenders working, but it's not the same as Outlook for me. I really dig what Windows is doing with Phone 7 but some of these moves are downright unintelligent. Hopefully the Zune 5.0 software will support Outlook sync.


I just want a unified core experience and being able to choose my hardware. Don't **** that up Windows, come on.

How to Sync Windows Phone 7 with Outlook

It does still sync with Exchange ActiveSync. So you can still sync your phone over the cloud so long as your companies Exchange server is accessible via the Internet and set up properly for this feature. The issue that I'm seeing in the article is that you can no longer sync email/contacts/calendar via USB using a PC sync client. The desktop sync client will only sync music/videos/etc.

No surprise here MS does not listen to it's customers. I used to be very pro winMO but the at the time 6.1 was buggy as all get out. 6.5 was promised and never delivered and when I heard that winmo 7 was coming I knew it was at least a year out...this was in 2008.

What I see happing is MS paying carriers to sell their phones...kinda like what they did with BING. MS is not inovative, MS is not intuitive and MS does not keep up with shifts in the market.
