Is there an Android widget available to display my outlook calendar on my Samsung Galaxy homescreen? I am already syncronized with my Outlook desktop calendar. I do not have any trouble syncronizing Outlook with my Galaxy. I only want to display the Outlook calendar on my homescreen.

I have spent the betterr part of 5 hours researching app widgets to display the Microsoft OUTLOOK CALENDAR. I have yet to find one specifically for Microsoft Outlook. I don't need help synching to my phone. it synchs perfectly. I would just like my OUTLOOK CALENDAR to be my homescreen widget.

I thought you already said you have your calendar synced to your phone's calendar? My phone has my Outlook calendar and all those widgets display my calendar perfectly.
When you go to your calendar app, are your Outlook details displayed correctly?

OK. You've sync'ed your Outlook calendar to your phone, as I do, and now you want to display it. All you need is a calendar app on your phone to do just that. What this will display is the information from your Outlook calendar that has been sent to the calendar database on your phone. There are many that do that, do a 'search' on here for the one that might fit your needs.
Though you say you have been searching and not found a way to display your 'Outlook Calendar'. There is no, as far as I'm aware, widget/app/program that describes itself as an 'Outlook calendar for Android'. You do not need such a beast anyway. If you sync ONLY with your Outlook calendar then that information is the ONLY information that will be in your phone's calendar database. Now, if you also sync with Google, for instance, then you will have two calendar databases loaded onto your phone and you may have to play about a bit with calendar settings, as to which is displayed at any one time. For instance, on my HTC, I have a 'pcsync' calendar (sync'ed with Outlook on my PC only) and a Google calendar which is linked to my Google account that I had to set up to access the Android market. I choose only to see the pcsync calendar as that is the only one I use. If you use both you could choose to see one or both.

Now I can't answer for the person who started this thread, but in migrating from an older Windows phone, the Outlook Calendar was displayed on the main screen. So, in swinging over to an Android (and whether or not this was a wise choice for me is still up in the air) what I am looking for is an Ap that would have the calendar open on one of the home folders so that you could it would be practically staring up at you at all time rather than firing off an Ap to take a look at the Calendar. If it (the Calendar) were sitting on one of these screens would be ideal.

Again, just use almost any calendar widget. If you have synced your Outlook calendar data to your phone, your entire Outlook Calendar will be in your Calendar app. Android Agenda, Go Calendar, Android Pro Widgets, etc, all of these can show your calendar on the homescreen.

There is no outlook on you're Android phone, so of course it would be obvious that there is no outlook widget. Once you sync the data into Android, its part of the stock calendar app data, its not labeled as outlook anymore. So basically all you need is just a normal calendar widget. I've been syncing my outlook calendar to my Android for over a year and have yet to encounter a problem displaying my data on a widget.
