Hi Greg, Did you have a phone (or phones) that do sync well with Outlook, regardless of whether you're wirelessly connected?

I can't imagine anyone enabling data roaming and I can't live without sync while travelling.

I went for the Mozart too, mostly for the NextG network. I can always swap out the handset for something 'later and greater' down the track if I want to but changing contracts is much harder. I've had phones with both Voda and Optus and got tired of the service dropouts and poor coverage. Telstra has previously been cost-prohibitive but their deal on the Mozart is fairly competitive I think. Phone-wise, I prefer a smaller screen than some of the 4.3" monsters out there that require a man-bag to carry around ;) Yes - battery life is a little average but nightly charging doesn't bother me. I've been very impressed with the OS usability so far... -----Original Message----- From: ozdotnet-boun...@ozdotnet.com [mailto:ozdotnet-boun...@ozdotnet.com] On Behalf Of Bill McCarthy Sent: Friday, 5 November 2010 11:04 AM To: 'ozDotNet' Subject: RE: [OT] WP7 Handset/device Yeh I find it's a phone you need to charge every day. Would have been nice if you could just plop it in a cradle, but sadly you have to plug in a micro usb on the side. As to camera, it's "okay", but not brilliant. Good for snaps (macro not bad, zoom in nature scenes not good). The best feature about the camera is it is easy to select the camera even when the phone is on standby: just press the button on the side and you can snap in about 3 to 5 seconds (still a little slow, but not too bad). Of course this does mean if you leave the phone lying around, anyone can add photos to it, even if the phone is locked. Oh, and noobie, the good thing about windows mobile phones is you can lock and or wipe them remotely etc. |-----Original Message----- |From: ozdotnet-boun...@ozdotnet.com [mailto:ozdotnet- |boun...@ozdotnet.com] On Behalf Of Simon Reed |Sent: Thursday, 4 November 2010 10:20 PM |To: ozDotNet |Subject: Re: [OT] WP7 Handset/device | |I picked up the Mozart day after release and am happy with it, that being said I |haven't seen/used any other WP7 phones.
