Thinking about moving to android, few questions...

Im thinking about moving from WinMo to Android. If you could help me with few questions...
I dont use any Google services, no gmail as I rather use myowndomain.com... I want to sync with Outlook via usb (bluetooth, yeah maybe but usb would be better); contacts, calendar and tasks... Is there good sync software out there?
The main reason for me to have a smartphone for a cell phone, is so I dont need always have a laptop with me. This brings me to opening and editing office apps; I found "Documents to Go" that seems to be OK, anyone using it?
To me its also important to automatically sync folders while syncing with Outlook, any good programs for that? Ive been using MobSync with WinMo and I guess it could work with this too? I found also Microsoft SyncToy, never tried it though...
Can I get my tasks listed on Android today screen like on WinMo? I need to have be reminded of my tasks, otherwise I would spend ½ of my day reading at XDA and not doing any of the things Im supposed to do...
Any comments and help is appreciated... Thanks!

HTC Sync comes with the phone, I also had some contacts stored on my company mail but I've started migrating to gmail because the really really neat integration and extremely useful features.

I don't use any software for editing just for opening the docs on my smartphone so I can't help you here but I'm fairly sure you can

Yes you can, there are vagarious free apps on the market that even offer feature widgets/notes for the screens
Hi there!
Did you already buy a Desire? I've used winmob before and you sound like you're totally schooled at Outlook with usb sync. HTC has exchange service support and you can sync through usb, It was long time ago since I ever used active sync but a friend of mine use it on Desire and he was not satisfied.
There is calendarpad that can show on start screen as activities or regular day view. Editing documents are thought to be done through Google docs as it is thought to be faster than a full scale office program on the phone. You can other wise get quick office premium for editing offline.

Have you thought about using Google Apps for Domains, so that you can use your own domain with Google services?

Sync

Sorry for stupid question
May I sync wm7 with PC on XP?
I have a XP sys at work and want to sync outlook contacts, calendar and notes
Greg
Can you install the Zune software on XP? If so I'm pretty sure you should beable to sync with it.

WP7 only syncs contacts, calendar, and notes over the internet (Exchange active sync or the Windows Phone Live service).
You will, however, be able to sync music and other media using the Zune client.

Those drivers are included with the updated Zune client which is only available from connect.microsoft.com

What WP7 device do you have?
as for SYNC I have other question:
If I have WM 6.5.3 device and content synced with MyPhone,
will I be able to just retrieve things from there to WP7?!

Good question. MyPhone uses a Windows Live logon right? If there is a MyPhone app on WP7 the you can probably log in with the the same account and sync.

I'm not sure. While "Windows Phone Live" is certainly the spiritual successor to MyPhone, I'm not sure if it's the technical successor. I think they might use different backend data storage systems. If they don't, it will definitely be kinda annoying.
Apart from backend data, there are some things that just can't be transferred - i.e. tasks and notes, simply because there are no tasks or notes in WP7. Also, most probably documents won't be transferred either because it seems that WP7 will only sync them via Sharepoint. Some other things such as photos should be fine because the WP7 Pictures application handles cloud photos natively.

I guess it's just OneNote files actually.
The Office Mobile 2010 apps are basic, of course, but functional. On the plus side, you can seamlessly sync OneNote notes with SkyDrive, and any Office documents with SharePoint. You cannot, however, sync Word docs, PowerPoint presentations, or Excel workbooks with SkyDrive, which seems like an odd miss.

Ok that's dumb. How many non-corporate users have access to (or have even heard of) SharePoint?

That's what all modern mobile platforms are in this respect, unfortunately.

I'm a corporate user but we don't use Sharepoint. Document handling isn't WP7's strong side for sure.

GENIUS
Congratulations !!
i would recommend using "xda winmo facebook" http://code.google.com/p/xda-winmo-facebook/downloads/list
it has way more features than the microsoft app and is less buggy. you can use places, answer requests, pm, chat, see the full news feed...
the microsoft facebook app is the same thing as if you used touch.facebook.com from your mobile browser. you don't need an app for that. you just get the feed and you can upload photos. ok, that might be sufficient for your post here, but hardly supercedes the features most roms with the new camera build or htc messaging come with. after all, who do you trust more, to get it right? Microsoft or XDA-Dev?

I just wanted to know if its possible to get a portable version of Zune software for download?
Thank you!

nope!
and it's kind of a crazy thing because of all drivers included in the software and deep o.s. integration
Yes I know but I want to use it at work but I dont have permission to install it... Drivers wouldnt be the biggest problem I think...
If you have a Zune pass, then you can access your music at zune.net
I just need it to synchronize my contacts and calendar with exchange.

Zune won't help you do that, you'd have to do it direct on the phone.
