Verizon Phones that Sync with Outlook

Archived from groups: alt.cellular.verizon (More info?)

Besides the uber-expensive smartphones...does any brand offer a phone
that can sync Outlook contacts and calendar? I don't need to do it
wirelessly...I just want to sync my meetings through a USB cable so I
can stop carrying around my PDA.

Something under $200 when purchased with a plan.

All the Kyoceras should. Mine is through a standard serial cable, but
I believe all of their new phones use USB.

No. BitPim is open source (GPL) and runs on pretty much every platform
out there. That means you can make it do what you want if you can code
or can convince someone who does code to implement it.

The version number however is at 0.7.33. That (appropriately) implies
it is about three quarters complete.

And more accurately BitPim could be made to autosync if someone wrote
the code. It does currently detect a phone being plugged in (Windows
only) and syncing is manual at the moment, so a small matter of
programming would fix all that.
