Has anyone used Lotus Notes Traveler with Blackstone?
I am using the Notes traveler 8.5 in manual mode (to save battery and data traffic). Hoever I noticed the problem that there is significant contacts update between PDA and Notes server. Even when contacts are not changed, there are usually some updates...
I also dual sync the contacts to my home PC's Outlook. There are also significant conatcts updates to Notes traveler when I sync my contacts to the Outlook (after clearing all contacts in Outlook).
Will like to hear others' experiences...
Can anyone who has the Galaxy S check please whether it is possible to sync notes with SyncML or not?
I currently have an Omnia II and it can only sync contacts, calendar and tasks with SyncML (Smart Sync app).
I have an account on memotoo.com and for my Omnia II I had to use Funambol client to sync my notes to memotoo.
But memotoo.com says Samsung phones can sync notes too (which is apparently not ture for my O2).
Can someone please check if it is possible with Galaxy S (Funambol for Android cannot do that).
How do you sync the Omnia 7 Calendar with your Microsoft Office Calendar (2010)?
Pretty sure it's not possible directly.

Now I understand why and what to do: I have to get used to having/maintaining everything "in the cloud", which actually makes perfect sense.
I'm now maintaining all my contacts, calendar appointments, podcasts, pictures, and videos - in the cloud (my Windows Live Account).
Don't get too used to it if you don't want to. I'm sure that there will soon be sync apps available, including a SyncML client from Funambol. I'm not a fan of their stuff, but SyncML is a standard protocol (with much criticism).
The interesting thing is:-
I can create/update/edit appointments on my WP7 phone, however, these will not sync with my Windows Live Account.
If I, however, create/update/edit appointments in the calendar on my Windows Live Account, these will indeed be synced with my WP7 phone, BUT overwriting any and all appointments already created on the phone on the same dates(!), IF indeed I've turned on "Windows Live" under Calendar > Calendars on my WP7 phone.
As far as I know, I have no way of specifying whether the WP7 calendar should have priority over the Windows Live Account calendar, or vice-versa, thereby controlling the direction of the syncronization.
All this - in terms of "cloud computing" - makes perfect sense... nevertheless, it's not very practical, as I cannot create/update/edit appointments on my WP7 phone and expect the changes to appear in my Windows Live Account calendar.
As I use the Microsoft Outlook Hotmail Connector to get access to and maintain all my contacts AND appointments "in the cloud" in my Windows Live Account through Microsoft Outlook 2010, - the way I understand it - I have to access my Windows Live Account calendar through the WP7 browser and create/update/edit appointments there (if/when I'm on the move and do not have access to a computer with online access) in order for these to be properly transfered/updated on my WP7 phone.
Not exactly intuitive, is it?
I know it sounds strange, but i'm using gmail as cloud and it syncs perfectly between the calendar on wp7 and the calendar on gmail and the calendar on outlook on my desktop. For syncing between calendar on gmail and outlook i'm using gsyncit which is free if you're using it only to sync calendar.
Apparently it's better to use google cloud than microsoft cloud...
Hopefully, someone at Microsoft will hear of this, and take the appropriate measures... (embarrassing...)

I don't really know anyone with your calendar problem! All WP7 phones i have played with sync fine with live calendar in both ways...
Errr... And you've played with Samsung Omnia 7 as well? If yes, then please explain how you've synced your calendar.

Hi guys!
I just got my Omnia 7 yesterday and set my Live account with the phone up. It syncs perfectly both ways instantly, calendar, email and contacts. The only gripe that I have is that I dont get a notification if I receive a new email in a folder. The live tile displays only the main inbox
I bit the bullet and paid for online exchange hosting. I find the syncing is much faster then live and it removes most limitations I had like
Outlook Photos would upload to live
Company name could not be any length.
I know it's couple only but it did bug me and I hated having lot's ofl folders with the same information (contacts x 2 calandar x 2)
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??

no native.
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
not free

...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.
now that microsoft is discontinuing the outlook.com app in favor of the outlook app, is there any way to sync a microsoft calendar with S-planner?
I tried their new app, but it no longer uses android's calendar storage.
this means I can no longer use S-planner, event flow widget, or pebble calendar.
for now I've reverted to the old outlook.com app, but microsoft says it will stop working at the end of next month.
