Any insight? Maybe you're at work?

Well a few points.
1. Not everyone has Outlook... tho I guess they do give you a copy on the activesync install disc.. but I rarely ever install software that comes with devices as its usually bloatware. I do already have it with my Office install, but i digress.
2. I use gmail and other online webmail because its everywhere that I am, and I don't need a mail application or a phone or anything to use it. So I don't find it worth my time to set a mail client up when Gmail and the online webmails works fine. Email Clients are pointless imo
So I use it to manually enter my names/numbers into the phone.
Now I see that it might be worthwhile to run outlook and sync this info up now that they are all in there, just so I can have a back up of my phone numbers when i install a new rom... but I will likely only do that once.
I guess there are lots of features.. but I find them useless in the way i use phones. I really don't even want WinMo...
I await the day where everywhere has highspeed access... then we wouldn't need any software on our phone or laptops, except for a VNC/Remote Desktop client. Then we could just access everything we need from anywhere on our home pc.
