I was wondering if anyone knows of any phones other than the SPV and ipaq type ones that can fully sync with my contacts on the PC in Outlook.

I have an spv c500 (now 550) but really don't get on with the phone. However as far as I know I have no other options as its the only one that fully syncs.

I wonder if there are and symbian software programmes I can buy for a Nokia phone that will do it.

Help greatly appreciated.

T-Mobile MDA Compact, more phone like & hopefully more reliable (8 in as many months) than the MDAIII its now replaced.


Mind you, you can only sync with outlook but have to send & receive (when mobile) otherwise with pop3 which is a crap idea & crap in use too & it forgets the messages have been put into folders & downloads them again arrrrggghh

I use an SE P910i which sync's completely with my outlook contacts, calendar & notes. I could sync the emails as well but choose not to as I use a piece of software called Smartner Duality which gives me full Blackberry stylee push email for my work email. I separately use POP3 to view my personnal mail on the phone.

....it's brilliant

I'm now debating weather or not to buy a 1gb memory stick so I can fully exploit the phones potential as an mp3 player..

There must be an Outlook>Nokia bridge out there somewhere.

Has to be.

Edit: There is, its called Oxygen Phone Manager.

Thats what you need.

I did stumble across Oxygen but was not too sure if it did what I need.

Will check the SE 910i and have a look.

Thanks chaps.

My V800 does too. I thought most current phones would.

I think a lot of phones are starting to but they don't all "fully" sync, meaning all the fields of the input side of outlook on the PC.

Most phones just do name, address, phone, fax, e-mail.

I also need, notes (lots of notes) catagories (about 15) 4-6 different names, (i use, assistant, spouse, etc) and 2nd address, job title etc.

The Oxygen programme looks good but I would feel better with a standerd OEM programe.

I have today re booted my SPV and re-booted my blootooth car kit and so far (touch wood) it seems to have sorted the glitches that were causing me to look for a new phone.

Thanks for all your help.
