All,
First of all, thanks for checking out my question. I appreciate your time!
Here is the deal. I am a current Verizon customer who has a VX6700, let me tell you, it is a GREAT PDA, but for me, as a phone, it isn't what I am looking for. I have had to replace it three times (and I am a very light user) and the bulk and just the effort required to dial a number, isn't what I am looking for. I am looking for a device which is a phone first, a pim second. I checked with verizon, cingular, and cincinnati bell (local att dealer) and the CSR's didn't seem to think that any of their non-PDA phones can synch contacts and calendar with Outlook. I don't know if this is a way to try to sell the PDA phones or if they just aren't trained in anything but the basics of the phones. That as it may be, I know that the Motorola Razr can synch with Outlook via the Motorola Phone Tools software, while it isn't great, it gets the job done. Now what I am looking for ideally, is for a phone where I can synch my contacts and calendar between the phone and the pc. The issue I have with the razr is that it creates a new contact for every phone number, so if you have numbers for Joe Schmoe for his home, business, and cell, instead of placing these numbers under one contact and allowing you to select the primary number you want, it actually creates (3) different contacts, which is just a huge oversight if you ask me.
So when it all comes down to it, I know that there are phones out there which aren't PDA or Smartphones, which can synch with Outlook, if someone can direct me to those which can, I would really appreciate it. I don't need to stay with Verizon and am open to any vendor which can provide this. Your input is desperately needed.
Thank you
Scott
