Could be, I suppose. The reviews I've read of WP7 are fairly positive, though. I don't want Android or iPhone, and WP7 on a Nokia sounds like a good alternative. But MS shoots themselves in the foot. Since I need an Outlook Sync via USB or Wi-Fi the only way I can get it is to go to Android. When you can't even get one of your products to support the other one, I have to think you may be right, that MS just doesn't have the business acumen to make it work. It looks like I'll have to go with Android and trust a sync program that has spotty reviews. But I will miss DateBk tremendously. The multiple time zone handling has been a real benefit.
If I understand right, if I go with Android then Pimlical would provide the same functionality as DateBk? However I also understand it syncs through Google, which I am definitely not interested in. I want a USB or Wi-Fi sync.
