Yes but they decided to do etxcaly the opposite. You can sync Outlook data with an iPhone and a Blackberry but you cannot with a Windows Phone.Otherwise please tell me how to sync Outlook emails, tasks, notes, calendar and contacts with a Windows Phone without using third party services or an Exchange server that 99.99% of people dont use. Even with an Exchange server you cannot sync all outlook data, just limited. And with the hotmail connected only contacts, and they dont sync back either, you cannot make changes on Outlook they will show up in the phone, so its not a sync process.Also tell me how I can drap my word and excel files to my phone and then take them with me and open it in the road. Again I cant.Microsoft is doing etxcaly the opposite of what you told. They are not integrating Windows Phone with Office, they are killing integration. Windows Phone doesnt integrate as Windows Mobile did, it doesnt with Office and it doesnt with Windows. The proof is you are forced to use Zune to connect to it. Software cannot connected directly to it. Windows Phone is allot of things but its definitive not a business phone.Its a media phone, for facebook, videos, music, and xbox. But its not a business phone the minute you cannot do stuff with it like you could with Windows Mobile and like you can with other smarthphones today. Just search on Internet how many frustrated and angry users there are that bought a windows phone to find the nasty surprise they cannot locally sync anything anymore. This users are people that will never again buy Microsoft products. They are angry and frustrated, because they thought Windows Phone is a upgrade to Windows Mobile, that means they thought they could do everything with it like they did and more. The fact is that Windows Phone cannot even do half of what Windows Mobile could, and that phone was very bad, so im not sure how people will quality Windows Phone in a year from now, because Winmo sucked big time, and it could do allot more stuff then the current WinPhone can.
