Contact/Customer Software Question - Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General

Can anyone recommend software that would allow me to integrate Outlook on my PC with my Tilt so I can set-up appointments on the pc and sync to my Tilt and the other way around? Also I am a salesperson and was wondering if there are any good programs that can be set-up that have customer record cards? Meaning a virtual card that you can jot sales info and follow-up info on. Maybe even create macros for commonly used phrases and or numbers that will keep track of sales history etc.
If this has been answered before please pardon my mistake. I have read quite a bit on this site and am a little overwhelmed.
Thanks in Advance.

For syncing appointments why not try microsoft active sync that way you can sync tasks/calendar/email with the tilt http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/activesync/activesync45.mspx

Question regarding calendar notifications

Hi, i have a Traditional Chinese TyTn II. I have this weird problem, where my calendar notifications goes crazy, and i get like 20 notifications of the same appointment, even after i dismiss it or close it, or sometimes even after 5 hours after the time.
I sync my Tytn to my company's exchange server, so that my be the issue? If not, how can i make it stop?
Thanks in advance,
Newbie in WM6, Luis
How many partnerships have you created with your pda? Are you setting any rules on sync? This could happen when you have different partnership on the pda and is exchanging the same information.
WM5 and 6 both have this problem. I have used a freeware called Scarybear Check Notifications (which I found on XDA), and right now I use a software called MemMaid. Anytime I softboot, I automatically check for "duplicates", and delete them. And for good measure, I check them before bedtime (to ensure my alarms aren't overloaded). My guess is you have a pile up if you haven't been using a program to check for duplicate alarms/notifications/etc.
Sorry for the late reply. I was out on a trip and did not check back on your answers.
I'm syncing only to my company's exchange server. I did at first sync with exchange and my own computer, but then i stopped doing so, because i thought it was that that was creating this problem. I disabled all notifications on my exchange server, and did so with the kaizer, but, it means that i have to be looking at the screen to see what i've got to do (not that many things, but...)
So, if I install the duplicate checker, i can get rid of these?
Thanks,
Luis

Sync/Import .wab address book to Diamond?

I have just received my XDA Ignito from O2, I have my old SonyEriksson phone address book saved as a .wab file and want to sync this with the Ignito/Diamond.
It does come bundled with a 'trial' version of Outlook but I don't really see the point in using it if it's just a trial that will run out. Plus I don't want to install Outlook just to sync my contacts!
Are there any free progs out there I can use to do this?
My old SE and Motorola phones came bundled with software that would do everything!
Thanks in advance!
Dave
I have Outlook installed on my machine... and I hate it, always have always will! I only need it for sync'ing my contacts. When I had my wizard way back (in technology terms anyway), the answer I kept getting was NO you can't sync with anything else.
The problem I am having with my contacts (and I have yet to find an answer for it) is that the Diamond/Ignito shows both my sim contacts and the phone contacts. The two lists are the same so when I go into 'all people' everyone is listed twice!
Any ideas anyone?
Matt
I'm till struggling with this. All I find is annoying 'trial' editions of programs that calim various things. When I left Outlook Express behind I assumed I was doing the right thing exporting to a wab file to back it up!
I've even installed OutlookXP now from an old office CD, but it can't import WAB files!! Can the version on the bundled CD?
There must be another way of getting a wab address book onto the Diamond?

help finding organizer software

ok so i am looking to have an organizer on my phone so i can write down all my homework and stuff. i love the tasks program that is standerd on the phone but now would like to have the same type of software but i want the software to email me the tasks i have written that day. i would like this to automatically happen everyday. is there any software out there that does this? if so please post a link. thanks again,
burro breath
wouldn't it be easier to just synch it with outlook 200X ?
that way you could enter it on your phone and it will automaticaly put those things in your agenda/taskmanager in outlook
Have you thought about services instead of software?
I know you asked for software, but I immediately tought of "Sandy" when you said you wanted automatic emails with your tasks for the day. Check out "iwantsandy.com" to see how it works. Another service is ReQall, which is voice activated lists. it will also email your outsatnding items to you at a set time each day. There is a WM app for ReQall, but it is a little flaky on my Tilt. I actually use both servies, as well as Jott.
I hope this helps

There has to be a better way to manage conflicts.

I've had an AT&T tilt now for about a year. Had a wizard before that. Before that I had a Palm Treo. Microsoft's sync software sucks. I am constantly making changes to client information. Sometimes I am in front in my PC and I can do it in Outlook. Other times I am out in the field. I am forever having to change the conflict settings in the Microsoft Mobile Sync Center to avoid losing my changes. I don't always remember this. I just synced this morning and found I lost three clients new phone numbers and email address that Outlook "fixed" for me. This is retarded. Why doesn't this thing track last TOD of change and use THAT as the method to determine who is valid. I had more options for syncing with a Palm device then this M$ crap.
Is there another option that will sync my data properly and logically then this?
bump. No one has any advice on this?
Well, man that sucks. Mine updates the information to outlook, thats with XP or Win7.
Hopefully someone has a better answer for you. I'll look over my settings when I'm at home.

[Q] HTC HD7 Outlook synchronization not possible

HTC HD7 with WM7 - there is no provision to synchronise with microsoft outlook using Activesync or Windows Mobile Device Centre.
Alternate way of using Exchange Activesync does look complicated
Please address the issue
This has been Answered
There are some workarounds & a 3rd party app, the solutions have been posted and can be easily found with a simple search (here is a hint, CompanionLink for outlook, Windows Live Connector, Gmail Sync). This is a very hot issue and I suspect there will be more solutions forthcomming

I tried the Hotmail connector, I had some issues, it seemed to have problems dealing with more than 250 contacts. I am using the Demo version of CompanionLink and syncing to my gmail acct and that is working very nicely.
cheers

I followed method two from the two ways to sync and worked just fine. I kind of like getting away from Outlook anyway. Hotmail/Windows Live is great since it can used through any computer contected to the internet to update contacts, phone numbers, etc. But I could see if this is an issue if you primarily use Outlook.

The problem I have is my company isn't running Exchange so for me to get my calendar and contacts I need a way to sync with Outlook.
I've tried Hotmail Connector and it works well for a one time sync but if you have a lot of changes to your calendar I have to make the changes in Outlook and Hotmail.
I refuse to pay $40 for something that should work out of the box.

Unfortunately, both are cloud solutions, which are unacceptable to me for both security and privacy.
If the WM7 device were seen as an external storage device (apparently doable via the registry), does anyone know whether this could faciliate a direct USB sync with Outlook 2010 32-bit?
Both solutions are OK for a one off copy of Calender & Contacts but do not perform a true contniuous Sync with Outlook and do not handle TASKS

if you are not ready to play with the cloud, I don't think wp7 is for you. They seem very serious about making the cloud an integral part of the OS going forward.

no microsoft myphone. All syncing goes through your live email address (like hotmail). For me, I had all my contact info on gmail because of playing on android with my hd2.
1. Logged into hotmail
2. clicked on import contacts under the contacts view
3. Clicked on gmail and followed the instructions
Took about 10 minutes.
For outlook I'm pretty sure you can do something similar, though I think you might need outlook connector from the marketplace to bridge it over from outlook to hotmail. You will only have to do this once, but then I guess your outlook will not be a syncable acct on you phone.
Just looked on my hotmail and it says to export your outlook contacts to a file that you can then upload to hotmail.
I'm a Windows Mobile User for 2 years now (SE Xperia X1) and loved the way I can sync it with outlook.
I have all my contacts (approx 500) in outlook and also use the calendar (+5000 items)
I've spent some time in the past to get the info on my contacts straight and I'm very disappointed about the lack of synchronisation options between WP7 and outlook.
Why does everything needs to be cloud-based.
I don't sync every day, but neither use outlook on everyday basis.
I never experienced syncing problems on either calender/notes/contacts or mail.
I have read something about features that will be added in the near future into WP7 and hope that local outlook synchronisation is one of them.
Hi guys,
I`m new to WM7 and i`m trying t sync my contacts as well. I don`t use Outlook and idon`t have an account.Is there any other way to get my contacts on te phone?
Thanks
So the windows 7 software allows syncing to google calender, email and contacts?
I'm stunned that there is no native support for Outlook synchronization with Exchange - this is old school and what I consider a core component of any smartphone I purchase.
I've just bought a HD7 assuming it would have this functionality (why would I check for this on a Windows phone, next I'll need to check the thing makes calls), guess I'm going to have to sell it on.
There maybe Third party solutions but I can't imagine they're ever going to work as well as a direct sync with the Exchange server in my office, giving Contacts, Tasks, Calendar Items, etc.
Absolutely gutted.

Of course there's native support.
If you have an exchange server, you have ZERO to worry about.
The issue is people who use Outlook for Pop and Imap. Or people who just use it for tasks and contacts. Without a Hotmail Connector, there is no way to interface with Outlook like the old school Active Sync did.
Again though, If you have Exchange, it works exactly like it does on any other platform, if not better. The only thing lacking right now is Tasks.
Jimbonics,
I could kiss you. My wife wouldn't like it (and neither would you most likely, I'm stubbly)
I've been reading phone forums, reviews and specs for what seems like months trying to choose the right phone (offline voice command via bluetooth is essential for me but Android doesn't do it and other devices have flaky support) so I skim read this thread: my bad.
Thanks for making my day.
