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.

Hey, I love my s621 and all the awesome software that you guys have provided on the forums. I was wondering if there was an application that would allow me to make notes, such as:"clean your room" and also remind me to of the note at a certain( or at certain intervals) Thanks!

yes, it is called calendar and is on your phone.
lol, i guess that works(i never use it, thats y i didnt think of it) but i was hopin for maybe something simpler.
Thanks!
Wow!
I'm gonna apologize if I sound like a prick, but if people took the time to play with their phones a bit to learn what apps were in their device, and what they did, we wouldn't have questions like this where a simple calendar app can remind you when you need it to, it comes with all roms and is not complicated to use.
True...
I use Google calendar for all my needs and set it up to send me a text message 15 minutes prior to the event/task. Then I use Oggsync to sync to my phone from the Google calendar. May switch to NuevaSync soon thouh (free).

Google offers a Sync option for free. It syncs contacts and your calendar OTA (over the air)
Does that require a data package? All i have is unlimited text. Maybe it wont be too much to recognize on the bill?

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.

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.

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.

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?

I'm a corporate user but we don't use Sharepoint. Document handling isn't WP7's strong side for sure.
Hi,
As per title. Is there anyway to install apps without accessing and downloading them from the Marketplace? All I need is an PDF reader that I can install on multiple devices and was looking to see if there is a simpler solution.
Thanks for reading.

Installation of applications must be done through the Marketplace, and access to the Marketplace requires a Windows Live ID.
So at the moment, this is the only solution.

So I guess I just set up one generic Windows Live ID for the devices. Would there be any issues with this?

Yes, I've read that the first Live ID is also used with other Apps. The next ID can be used too but only for certain Apps.
EDIT:
Reading it back it's very cryptic You need to investigate this more..

Only the primary Windows Live ID is used for Marketplace downloads and purchases. So whichever Live ID you sync first, that will be the one where your downloads and purchases will be linked to.
Additional Live IDs only sync Email, Calendar, and Contacts. Primary is used for everything else (Xbox, Zune, Marketplace, etc.).

It's a little more effort but check out ibackupbot you can open up old iTunes backups from within the program. I've used it to pull contacts, pictures, and various other things

Second that. I use Doubletwist. It's good software and your best bet if you no longer have the old iPhone.
use Samsung Kies to export Contacts from your iTune backup if did made back up for your old iphone.
