I actually deleted the Outlook iTunes add-in and Outlook has appeared to stabalize. What a mess! I found Outlook crashing all day as well.

In fact, all day Outlook crashed on me proving to be unusable. Even after an un-install and re-install nothing helped. I did find two keys in the Registry related to iTunes (manufacturer of ALT COM) that I deleted and now I'm back in business. However, I haven't restarted iTunes since in fear 7.3 is just going to trash it again. On another note, Entourage ended up getting everything erased in the calendar thanks to the sync to iCal. Since I'm on an Exchange server, everything was lost. I have backed up my OST file and now I have to find a way to import from that since I have no other way of getting back five years of calendar information. Too bad Apple was a bit untruthful on the "Syncs with Entourage" line on its site. Ya, via syncing to iCal. Ugh. What a mess. No, John, I didn’t.

I'm in the same boat. Contacts synced, calendar didn't. Did you get the Outlook calendar issue resolved? I’m in the same boat. Contacts synced, calendar didn’t.

Give me a couple of days to get real life experience before I go and do any kind of review! But I'll give you something here in a second... As to the other phone you were considering, I almost bought it two weeks ago. Like you, I needed a lot of the feature missing from the iPhone. But reading a readers comment on here in a previous iPhone post and how he had the phone and has had nothing but problems with it and based on my past with the HTC models AND other Windows CE-based phones/PDAs, I just couldn't. I've been using Window CE since 1.0 in 1997. In ten years, Microsoft hasn't been able to improve the operating system. In fact, I think it's worse! I was just tired of reseting it daily. I'd rather have less features than having a full-featured device not work at all. You’re funny, Shane. Give me a couple of days to get real life experience before I go and do any kind of review!

That is a bummer, but better to find out before I sink money into a phone that does not work as it should. The guy that showed me his phone had a huge battery hanging off of it. Any reccomendations? Not wanting to sink $599.00 into an iPhone, and I kind of want to wait until Revision 2 comes out if I get one at all. Several tech sites are giving the phone good reviews. So when is your official review coming out? Thanks for the information Sven. That is a bummer, but better to find out before I sink money into a phone that does not work as it should.

Not this fix only is for Exchange 2007 which many are not on. It is also only for the IMAP *mail* feature. It does not do anything for the Contacts or Calendar. Yes, Brandon, you need the cable to sync your information. No Direct Push is supported. Thank you, Kevin, for the link. Not this fix only is for Exchange 2007 which many are not on.

I've had both previous generation of this HTC unit (6600 and 6700) and they both were great for the honeymoon, but man, after that, complete frustration. Mostly due to Microsoft and just a really poor OS. I experienced reboots, random termination of power (that one really got me the first few times!), and hangs. This happens daily! I ended up naming my 6700 "Soft-Reset" since that's what I do with it daily. Oh ya, battery life? Buy a couple extra, buddy (though the 8525 seems to be vastly improved.) No, the iPhone doesn't do RDP and SSH. Once an API is released, I now SSH will be around the corner though I doubt we'll ever see MS release RDP for the iPhone. But, it's on OSX, so maybe.
