OK to sync to Outlook instead of Exchange?

[DainBramage]

I'm considering getting a smartphone, but our IT guy says our version of
Exchange (2000) doesn't support synching to the phone itself (or he doesn't
want to figure out how!). So, I'm wondering if it would be possible to sync
the phone with Outlook on my local machine, and then let Exchange get updated
from the info on the local machine? Will this work? Other than calendars
and contacts not being in sync until they get physically connected to each
other, would there be any concerns?

Thanks in advance!

I think that would work. As a matter of fact, I think it's the only way it
would work.
