iPhone4 and MS Outlook to sync contacts and calendars - how well does this work?
- One of my last deciding factors before I switch over to iPhone4 from BB:
It's very important for me that my contacts (hundreds) and calendar from Outlook (currently 2007) sync flawlessly with my phone. Works great with my BB.
Searched forums and getting conflicting reviews. Can anyone tell me - from personal experience - how well does the iPhone4 sync with Outlook for contacts and calendar?? I'm not even interested in OTA sync. Happy to connect to computer and let iTunes handle the sync.

On the "information" tab it will ask you what contacts you want to sync (e.g. Outlook, Google, etc...). Same thing for calendars. Once you do that one time it will always sync everytime you sync with itunes unless you change the option. And if you use MobileMe it will sync everything OTA.
Syncing thru iTunes: does it sync "all" outlook contact fields information to the iPhone (contact pictures, birthdays, anniversaries etc...).
How well does OTA syncing thru MobileMe work? Is it pretty accurate with sync info?

- Great observation and well said. It is easy to use, but like you said, most loathe it.
