Phone Selection Help

[Gatorubet]

My firm software is Amicusattorney, and while it is a great match to my needs in most ways, it is a dinosaur as it relates to synching with phones that are not Palm OS. The software was first created back in the day when Palm Pilots roamed the earth. Now, the software can also sync to Outlook. I am not going to buy a phone that uses any Palm OS again, so my choices are narrow.

I can go crackberry, which will doublesync Amicus through Outlook without trouble. But I would love to go Droid based.

My question is, do I have to install an app to convert Outlook to an android calender contacts and notes form? I admit that I am not techno boy, so any help will be appreciated, even if my question displays my lack of techno skilz

If you need to sync effectively with Outlook, you need to not be shopping for Droids. Droid owners pine for the ability to get their phones to communicate even rudimentarily with the Outlook system. Calendar items sync OK (so long as you are using the Windows version of Outlook), but contacts and notes sync about as effectively as the North Korean economy syncs with capitalism.

iPhone is likely a better choice for you, especially as you note (appropriately, as you are a Gator fan) you are not "techno boy."

None of this should trouble you particularly, as many studies demonstrate that iPhone users get much more nookie than Droid users.

Amen to that. I'm ready to chuck my thunder bolt out the window and fire my blackberry storm back up.

Thunderbolt = miserable POS for syncing with Outlook... mail, calendar, contacts, notes. Constant headache.

As much as I reviled the idea I should have picked the iPhone instead.

4G drains my batteries at a pace of two a day.

Don't know if it's the phone or the OS. Don't really care at this point. Just *extremely* disappointed with the thing.

As I read the bar graphs in your posted study I am forced to come to the conclusion that women are having sex more often than men regardless of brand.

Higher rates of lesbian behaviors? Bigger gigolo population than predicted? What gives (other than women with cell phones)?
