Susanna, Droid doesn't have an ap to sync with Outlook directly, so you can use a third party, paid ap, or do what do: Set up Google Calendar account. Sync your Outlook appointments with Google Calendar and sync your Droid with Google Calendar. Any change you make in one pace automatically goes to the other two. It works like a charm and is effortless. You can also sync your Outlook contacts in the same way if you want them on your phone. I don't want several hundred Outlook phone numbers of old clients on my phone, so I sync my phone only with Google Contacts, but not with Outlook. This provides a backup of your phone book just in case.

The phone is a droid. The question is, if I take the plunge do I use the phone's calendar? Google calendar? Outlook calendar and synch? A calendar app? Something else? Some background: One calendar and one only is a rule I live by. I like to see a week or two at a time w. all my appointments shown. I'm used to a month at a time, but in reality I don't care what happened three weeks ago, except as a record. I think I'll want to print out past months for a record. I don't think I want to synch because I'm sure I'll be dashing out of the house and realize I haven't synched and won't have time. Typing on the phone isn't all that easy, but you knew that. As ever, thanks for your wisdom and generosity. --Susanna ------------------------------------- Susanna Opper Shawenon Communications Our distinction is communicating your distinction 413-528-6494 susanna at shawenon.com www.shawenon.com Twitter: @SusannaOpper -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
