Moving from a Touch Pro 2 to an Android

Yeah, but Outlook stores the info in a file locally on my hard drive, not on someone's internet server where I have no control over it or who has access to it

I can understand this for contacts and calendar items but if you are using outlook for your email, doesn't it grab it from some other company's server?

I'm not storing any of my information in any one's server that I have no control over.

Don't get me wrong, I am hesitant about "the cloud" too, but isn't almost all of your info on some one else's server that you have no control over? The carrier's log every call you make and receive, every text message can be retrieved, every email too. Basically, almost everything we do on our phone can be tracked...computer too if you are using the internet at all.
