Hey, don't be so hard on me. I only advanced to using Outlook a year ago, so to me it's "high tech". Prior to that I was a Palm Desktop user for the past 10 years. :-)

If it doesn't have a cloud component (e.g., Exchange, Google, etc.), then it's not going to be nearly as useful going forward. Phones today assume Internet connectivity and take advantage of that. Relegating yourself to being tethered to a specific PC is hamstringing you and your phone. At least get yourself a hosted Exchange account so you can take advantage of the benefits of the cloud while still retaining your beloved Outlook as your PC interface.
