Goodbye Evo

[npark]

Yeah, I'm sure that's what all business are going to do.

What business uses outlook as a standalone product? If you do, that's not very smarts.

I can understand using outlook as a front-end. But on the back-end, it's driven by EAS for most businesses.

small businesses can use a free and full featured google apps solution Google Apps Outlook Sync for Microsoft? Outlook
and use outlook on the front end.

It's inconceivable to me that you would want to "sync" your email with what is technically an periodically polled offline solution. I would suggest using some other back-end solution, and keeping the Outlook program that you know and love... and you wouldn't know that there's a change.

oh well, whatever floats your boat. people jumping on your case, well... they might be overly zealous on what is essentially your decision to go with an antiquated solution... but can you really blame them for making such comments if you're still using the 1990's email solution of choice?

Outlook is still used primarily by 99% of my clients. The low cost of a small business server that comes with exchange built right in fits most small business needs. I personally host my own exchange 2010 server and find it fits my needs much nicer than gmail does. Though I have to admit not everyone is capable of hosting such a product but I'm kinda a geek when it comes to exchange mail.

The calendar event being moved a day into the future is a HTC bug....not Companion Sync.

HTC has admitted it and knows about it but who knows when a fix will be out. I get the same bug when I edit an All Day event on my phone, it moves it forward one day. it sucks I agree but not so much that I would lose my EVO and go back to my Centro. yuck

You can have my Centro if you want!

Outlook as a front-end client, yes--most all enterprises use outlook as the mail client. Although, if I had a personal choice i wouldn't--but try telling fortune 500 IT depts to switch to gapps.. ;-)

The OP doesn't use exchange--just outlook and needs an off-line sync solution.

Outdated Bloatware

I switched back to my Treo today. The Evo surpassed it in every way except ONE and that one was being able to sync to Outlook (NOT GOOGLE) calendar. HTC sync didn't work (they even escalated my support ticket and then never called back). Tried solution after solution. It just got too frustrating spending HOURS AND HOURS in forums and trying all solutions suggested, mostly finding many others who could NEVER get it working either. Tried some 3rd party stuff that had errors also.

My wife had a Pre from the beginning and the reason I never got one was that there was no sync with Outlook. I read about the Evo and HTC Sync and thought this was the answer to my problems!!! Oh, well.....

I really liked this except for the ONE thing i needed!!!!!

This is a great forum!! Found lots of help here.

You never mentioned you still use Office 95!...


Just kidding. Good luck with keeping the clunker running. Cloud ftw! EVO rules the roost.

I'm going to get rid of my new Jaguar and go back to my old trusty chevy caprice classic. I just can't see driving such a nice piece of machinery if i can't use the navigation system that I have been using since day one.... I'm just too stuck in my ways and stubborn to find a better solution. I know there has to be better solutions but i will never admit it or be willing to give something else a try. So bye bye beautiful Jaguar I can't afford you anyway!

I can tell you for a fact that I know corporate Motorola employees using Google Apps for their business solution although they do have another "standard" business client still running. Google Apps is trying to compete directly with Exchange.

I was going to say it sounds like an issue with Google Sync (third party software), as I use CompanionLink and haven't had that issue.. and no duplicate entries either.. so far it's been great for me, my wife, and my mother..

We use Outllook/CompanionLink/Google/Evo to run our photography business.
