I would like the opinion of experienced Mac users and Entourage sync-
ers as to which new Verizon phone or PDA device (and which device OS)
I should get to have the best syncing results using either MarkSpace
MissingSync appl or iSync (and Sync Services).
I have a large Entourage 2004 database with 2-3000 contacts (but not
all those contacts necessarially need to be downloaded to the phone
device).
I need to purchase a new Verizon phone or PDA shortly (like tomorrow),
however I want it to sync well with Entourage 2004 (and eventually Ent
2008) on my 2.2 MBP running Mac OS 10.4.11 (and eventually Leopard).
Should I get a Windows Mobile 6 device...or Palm OS device?
(I notice that the MS Palm forum doesn't seem to talk about syncing to
MS Office's Entourage, only about syncing to Apple's iCal/AB.)
Or PocketPC device?
Or BlackBerry device?
Does MS sync better with Entourage via one of these OSes, than the
others?
If the new device can't hold all of my contacts, what is the best
method in Entourage--and with using MS to sync--to setup a smaller sub-
base of contacts to sync to the phone device?
By making a "cell phone" category or project in Entourage and then
selecting certain contacts to be synced over to the device?
What is the best method of connecting the computer to the device to
accomplish the syncing?
Blue-tooth?
USB?
Any other methods?
In connecting the device, do I have to be careful about the type of
Blue-tooth format or USB format? Are there any surprises here?
I'm looking at some of the following devices:
XV6800 (Windows Mobile 6 Professional, Windows Mobile Direct Push)
Motorola Q9 (Windows Mobile 5)
Palm Treo 700p
Thank you for your advice!
