Since my employer and my customers all use Outlook as the client, and my phone is a Windoze Mobile, I've just been using Outlook with a .pst on my server for many years (easy familiarity and phone sync).  One of these days I will get a new phone; probably some Android option (while Apple is good, I'm just not a #fanboy), and I wonder about syncing.  It's also not attractive to be forced to sync the Android through Google... need to learn more about those requirements/options.  I'd rather just sync my phone to something on my machine or directly to my/hosted server software.

I am guessing, but since you are using outlook does that mean you are 
also using Exchange?  If so you do not need to use Google.  Droid, 
iphones, and any other device that come with m$ active sync will work 
(providing that your Exchange has this available).  I am sad to say that 
I manage an Exchange server here at work.  Once upon a time I 
recommended everyone to get a Blackberry, and I have a B-Berry Ent 
Server running for them.  Since we moved to Exchange 2007, I have been 
pushing people to get something with M$ active sync.  It's pretty sweet. 
  Everything (what you want synced that is) is done wirelessly.  No 
special requirement, no crap to load on your pc, etc.

I digress....

Forgive me for the m$ speak :(
