So what's up with Outlook syncing in Android 2.2? Why is there no simple notes application on this new version of the OS? Why can't it sync with all Outlook features as it did in version 1.6?
It looks as though I will be forced to use Google docs and use something to sync that with Outlook. I use Outlook notes and tasks for work and really need them back on my phone.
I just needed to type and store a quick note on my phone and discoverd that there was no native application for that. Will there be a solution for this in Gingerbread??

i use VCOrganizer (tasks, calendars, notes contacts and categories)
(use only 1 way contact sync or u find doubled contacts on the phone)
it works also with outlook 2010 64bits
i treid many but this is the only one i found that sync also outlook notes

...feel your pain. This has been my biggest challenge too coming from years of (relatively) painless Outlook to phone syncing with WinMo phones...but I am loving this more and more every day!
Basically I ended up "moving to the cloud"...using CompanionSync (worth the $$) to auto sync O2k10 to google.com (includes tasks) and EverNote to sync notes. DropBox for documents and folders. Tasks appear in the google calendar on the due date.

This problem (and a full list of potential synchronisation solutions) is well documented over at http://www.syncdroid.net/
Does anyone know is there have been any further developments towards getting all of outlooks features to sync with android??

I use enhanced email. Not sure if it supports tasks and notes, but the developer is very active on his forum for enhancements.

I use Outlook (through Exchange) calendar intensely and need it on-line on my phone as well. In my old WM-world this has always been seamless. On the X10, however, I'm having difficulties. The phone's calendar app is linked directly to G-mail which I absolutely don't want to use and while there seems to be the possibility to add other calendars to the phone's view this is actually greyed out in the settings menu. Anyone know how to fix this? I.e. I want to have my Outlook/Exchange calender synchronized with my phone's calendar directly. On the Hero this seems to be standard (HTC no doubt), but here I don't have a clue how to proceed. Hating Moxier with a vengance, BTW...
Help?/M
I think that Exchange is not implemented in Android 1.6 which is why SE included Moxier in the basic functionality*
I am using Moxier Mail and Calender and they work a treat and sync with my work email/calender with no problems...
* Although a friend with a Nexus ONE has also had difficulties syncing his phone calender with Exchange, so it may not be just an Android version issue.

Indeed Exchange is not in 1.6 but it is in 2.1. It IS however on the X10 Mini Pro which is also 1.6. Put that in your pipe and smoke it. I'll find out more when I get a Mini tomorrow...
As any widget I've found to put my short-term calendar on the screen (like in HTC Sense) takes its data from the phone's calendar and NOT from Moxier, I'm screwed. Or not good at finding widgets?
Thanks anyway/M
Still waiting on my DINC...
I am a WM user and ActiveSync does sync task. I read the HTC sync does not and I need all my contacts, calendar, task, etc sync
I do not use Google at all so can anyone recommend to me how to sync task or maybe another app I can use...?
Not your answer but ...
My #1 concern when leaving WM (I really really wanted my next phone to be WM) was outlook sync. I am very happy with the Calendar and Contact sync the Incredible does. I have not tried tasks and can't tell you about that. I use rememberthemilk for tasks; it is an online task manager which will also sync to astrid (free task manager) on your phone.

Wow...thx this is good feedback and I agree I do not have my DINC yet but am very concerned about leaving WM in the fact I do not know how my Outlook data will sync over to the new device since I am so use to ActiveSync
So sounds like you are saying installing rememberthemilk with add the function to sync my Outlook task to the DINC device..?
I switch from WM6.1 to DINC the day it came out. I use Touchdown for Exchange syncing and it works very well (occasionally it loses settings but that is a refresh and a re-sync of 15 minutes). Touchdown is $20, but Android 2.2 will have better Exchange capabilities I understand.
I don't use Tasks so its not that big a deal to me but everything else works flawlessly. Here is a link to the new Exchange features:

Sounds interesting....how does this help when I use copy email Outlook which is on Exchange and then I use personal email on my home Outlook...the WM creates separate mailboxes for Exchange mail and the other personal mail??
Syncing tasks is a big deal to me too. So far I've found only one way to do it well with my desktop Outlook and my DI. On the Incredible I use an app called Got to Do. It is nothing but a task/to do list. BUT, it does sync with a web-based app called Toodledo, which has a feature that syncs with Outlook.
So my Outlook tasks automatically sync with Toodledo, which automatically syncs with the app on my DI.
So far it's working okay but if someone were to develop a stand alone desktop app that syncs with an android app, I'd sure take s hard look at it.
Good info...thx
I have all my contacts loaded on my account on my company's exchange server. I sync all my email and contacts and calendar through there. I don't do tasks.
Sometimes there are "glitches" that require you to have to mess with it. I had to re-add my account probably twice since 5/1 but its quick and easy to do.
Not sure if this is the correct part of Forum.
what is the most reliable way to sync outlook with android phone?
I know that you can sync outlook with google calendar, and then android, but that is no ideal, i don't want to sync it google online service.
I also found an app that sync from outlook to some weird office app on andorid, and the date still is not visible though native android apps.
Checks if this helps you!
[Q] Outlook Sync with current android builds
this HTC sync will not work with Samsung phone?
I found something that works ...and is free (donationware anyway!)

Hi all.
With the hopeful impending arrival of my DHD, I am keen to know the best way to migrate my contacts, calendar etc to Froyo.
I know I can sync my activesync to sync with Google, but is that the best way?
I want to maintain as much as I can if possible....
oggsync does fairly good to sync contacts and calendar, but some features missing unless you use the paid version.
another alternative (free as long as you have Outlook in your PC):
activesync to desktop outlook -> export to csv from desktop outlook -> use Import feature in the gmail website -> let the data sync from google account to handset.
grateful if somebody could give an advice re tasks. the Task feature of gmail doesn't support recurrent task, and hence absolutely not my choice. Astrid looks good enough on Android, but seems i must manually re-enter all outstanding tasks.
The best way is
On WM6.x use Exchange Server from Google using the google account that you are going to use on Android, and then in Android use that google email account and everything will transfer to android. Simple as that...
thanks for your advice.
you mean this Google Sync service?

EDIT: trying it now. it's handy. thanks!
What I did, was export all my contacts and appointments, and then imported them into my Gmail account. Then synced when I was within Android on my HD2.
Works very well.

It there something I am doing wrong or is there a other app I can use.
Thank you in advance
The best thing to do in this situation is to read the Forum Rules.

and after that install nitrodesk touchdown (exchange client for android)
Stop syncing with Outlook.
I recommend, open GMAIL account, then sync with GMAIL instead, and if you want to sync back to Outlook, download googlesync for outlook.
You can try this:
http://www.android-sync.com/
It uses ADB to sync.
However, connecting an Android phone to a computer is somewhat waste of time, everything can be done wirelessly including charging nowadays anyways.
MyPhoneExplorer
I recommend MyPhoneExplorer to sync Android builds with Outlook. Using it since it came out and it works great. There's even WLAN syncing supported (you need a plugin from the Market do be able to use WLAN). Also available from Market. Great software and comfortable as hell. Only downside: No Outlook category support.
Cheers, Olioaglio

+1, good program
If you use Outlook and sync on a work pc in an environment which is locked down and you can't just install all of these apps being suggested, just try re-installing HTC Sync and the HTC drivers. Works for me.
I'll assume you don't have Exchange. If you do, then just sync directly with Exchange. I you prefer all the benefits of having an Exchange account but want it for personal use, Microsoft now gives ActiveSync/Exchange support with all Hotmail accounts. Just get a hotmail account.
Gmail account is good for personal use, but I prefer all the interactivity that Microsoft has.
If you just want to sync, I'll second the vote for MyPhone Explorer
