Thanks, just having a problem with the fact that I have to go through so many hoops to get this done. Having a hard time understanding why the work has be put on the end user. Why can't microsoft make their software work with their phone software and have that big 'ol cloud swoop down from the sky and take what it wants!
No disrespect, but suck it up this time, buttercup, and just deal with it. Outlook desktop sync has been on it's way out for years now, only hanging on for a few legacy users.
It is MUCH easier in the cloud, once it is there. It is really a simple process.
Back when I was using Outlook desktop sync via AS with my Dell Axims and WM phones, it was always a crap shoot if my AS content would sync properly when switching to a new device. Half the time, it would wipe out all my data. Thankfully, I knew to make backups.
After having it in the cloud for the last 6-8 years or so, I have NEVER lost a contact across about 8 phones, 4 computers, and a tablet. I plug in the login credentials and it just works. If ever faced with the situation that I have to hard reset a device while away from the desktop, I just input the credentials and watch it populate my data instantly and have a working device with all my contact and calendar data in just a few minutes from reset.
