Default [Q] Sync with Outlook

Are there any apps which will sync a non-HTC phone with Outlook. Note: This is not exchange, just a local copy of outlook, which is where my calendar and contacts are stored.

I do not wish to wash my contacts/calendar through GMAIL so I am wondering if an app exists.

I am currently on a HTC phone so I have access to HTC Sync which automatically sync's to a local copy of Outlook; something I suspect will not work if I move off of HTC.

Thanks!

that is a positively no

to an Exchange Server yes, to Office Outlook, no

you can install Outlook to Google Sync

Then Sync everything to your Gmail account

Default Odd

HTC gives that functionality for free with their phones, so it is clearly possible.

Would be a great app for a developer; no idea why it does not exist.

Probably because most people either sync it with Exchange or Google already. Tethered sync is a thing of the past.

With that said, nothing is stopping someone from developing it but I don't think that many people use that.

Email client should be synced with servers, not other clients. I never understand why people want to sync with outlook.

Ahhhhh but there is the issue. I am not seeking to sync an Email client.
I am seeing to sync a pim.

In other words, my calendar and contacts are all in outlook, and HTC phones come with a program to sync contacts and calendar with outlook. I an looking for that functionality in an app.

Answers are appreciated.

Question [Q] SIMPLE Sync with Outlook?

I don't store my contacts online, only in Outlook and on my phone. I used to use HTC Sync with my Desire HD.... hows the hell do I do this simple thing on the Nexus!? Searching seems to bring up that I should install some crappy Google tools (that I don't want) to sync to the net.

I tries Kies, as it's a Samsung, but predictably it didn't work.

MyPhoneExplorer might work, if the client runs on ICS. http://www.fjsoft.at/en/home.php

Look for the client in the market.
