I don't think so. I had to export my outlook calendar and contacts as .csv files from outlook and import them into my gmail account. They imported seemlessly. I believe google has a program you can download on your laptop to sync your outllook calendar with the one in gmail.

I downloadd Google Calendar Sync this morning on my laptop and it works great! The link to the download can be found at . After downloading, I did a one-way sync from Outlook to my google calendar and then switched the software to a two-way sync. Since I originally imported the outlook calendar into google, I had to delete all the entries in the google calendar before initially syncronizing. Otherwise, I would have gotten duplicate entries in the Google calendar.

Yes, it will automatically sync from outlook to gcalendar. You can set the automatic sync frequency and you can also set a one-way sync from outlook to gcalendar. The sync frequency is initially set at every 120 minutes, but it can be adjusted down to a frequency of every 10 minutes.

Out of the box, it will not sync with Outlook Calendar and Contacts. However, you may visit to find a lot of software that will do the job. They have a chart that lists the software, what it syncs (you just need to be sure it says Yes to Calendar and Contacts), how it syncs (USB, Wi-Fi, wireless), the prices (many free) and more. There is also a review of each software making it easier to pick what you like. Go forth and sync!

Unfortunately, I wasn't wise enough to do a one-way sync and have double calendar entries on my droid x2.

I had previously sync'd my new Droid x2 to my Outlook calendar (I'm using exchange) while setting it up and then I noticed my new Outlook calendar events weren't sync'd to my Droid x2 calendar. I then downloaded the Google Calendar Sync and ran the tool. It worked in that I now see all the missing events from Outlook on my phone calendar BUT I now have duplicated entries.

How can I remove the duplicates?

Thanks for any input.
