Wireless synch has a calendar and contacts. I guess it's closer to Outlook, but internet based. (You can log on from any pc). I don't use this for e mail. It is actually a good method for backing up contacts and calendar stuff. Outlook is fine if you only use one computer, and always synch with the usb cable. For VZW synch, I can enter calendar entries and contacts on any pc and it sends to the phone. Dashwire would be great if they had the calendar capabilites.

I'll be trying out PDANet soon, I don't foresee any problems though.

which is almost pointless with the 6800, as it has wifi

Do they ask you when you called if you have the Exchange server or not? TIA

Maybe I can rationalize it by telling myself I dont work for Corporate America and then my truth-telling impulse will quiet itself as I play dumb...

Ugh. Why can't I just get the break

I agree...
My cable provider has a very nice Mobile-site. I have a copy of my email forward to my XXXXXXXXX@vtext.com so I get a txt when i have new email, then I simply check it using PIE... its just exchange is convienent for work appointments and tasks as it syncs whenever a new appt/task is entered. I can even reply to meeting requests via Q9m.
