What's it like syncing with Outlook? What's the Sidekick like syncing with Outlook?

Sidekick does not have the capability to sync with outlook period. You cannot get this type of function on it, you will need a smartphone or data device, and sidekick is technically neither, as it runs off the Danger server, which is very different.

My system came with Windows XP, but I had it upgraded to Windows 7 which will also require Microsoft Outlook. Hope this helps, I purchased it in 2012, don't remember some things, but have not had any problems with the system.

My wife uses the product at her workplace. She says that the option is given at setup on which program you want it to interface with...MS Office is one choice. I don't know how well it works with Office.

I have not tried the "syncing" but I suspect that if you plug the USB end into a computer, you could sync it with a folder on your computer. Hopefully this helps, but I'm curious to see the other answers myself. I'm going to try it out when I get a chance.

No specific sync software. Yes, just use drag and drop in Windows Explorer.

There are several issues with getting this computer to correctly work with windows, or should I say you getting use to the keyboard. The keyboard is really awesome, but doesn't play well with Windows. - Delete key, even if you map it (using several mapping utilities such as sharp key) will not work in outlook. So deleting emails is really pain. Still trying to figure this one out. - Alt/Window -&gt; alt/Command, this mapping is easy or just get used to switched key combinations -- Fwd delete / backspace -- no page up/page down / insert

It took me 20-30 minutes to sync them together. I would say just keep trying. It may not sync easily, but you only have to do it once after all.

Sure, all you have to do is to go to settings in the App and than hit Login and Sync, from there you and your daugher can log out and sign in with your emails

No. Very upset with Microsoft and my purchase of Outlook 2013. Have not had time to deal with that problem.

With the question, I'm not sure what specifics you might be looking for but, this version has Excel, Outlook, Powerpoint, and Word. All have been very stable and worked very well with the MAC OS. I have done a number of presentations, spreadsheets, papers and I deal with a lot of email. It's been a great version for me.

It isn't a complete substitute in that even thought it will open and edit Office files, there will be occasional incompatibility. It does have the functionality of Office and some nuances that many find to be big advantages, such as easily being able to "reveal codes" to see why a document is behaving the way it is. That is something that has been invaluable when formatting is an issue. I find I can do things with WP I just can't get Office to do.

Yes there is no Outlook for 2010. I do not know how long this will be supported as 2013 is already out and on the market. From what I have read on the Microsoft official sites you should definitely have no worry for at least another two years or more for this program becoming obsolete as many businesses still use this as well to work with their VPN's and current hardware.

I had to uninstall the current Nokia Suite & install the older 3.2.98; after that, I was able to get my contacts/calendar to sync with Outlook. Here is where I got the information but the links to the download files are no longer valid: http://discussions.nokia.com/t5/Maemo-and-MeeGo-Devices/N9-MeeGo-1-2-Harmattan-Sync-Contacts-and-Calendar-with-PC/m-p/1197703

I'm a senior who thinks its workable. But I think I'm a hot dog. Windows 8 takes some learning, although clicking on Mail and Internet Explorer are quite straight-forward. There's a lot of learning resources on available if you get stuck. I think you might actually enjoy it.

I just got Win 7 yesterday and it is a 64 bit program; XP is 32 bit---- You cannot use the Outlook integration feature with Win 7, you have to use the CardScan standalone program on the disk. The install disk that comes with the product has two installs on it. I initially used the Outlook add-in install which I prefer and loved; I had to install the standalone version of their software that is unable to communicate/synchronize with Outlook. So now I use it to scan the business card, then I use SnagIt to copy and save as a png file that I can then insert into my Outlook database.
