    Not sure what the big deal is, It works for me, I am forced to use Outlook for work...I use this to sync my Outlook, Personal Google calendar, my Children's Calendars, and my N800 Calendar.

    Step by Step to sync your Outlook Calendar with N800

    1 Get a Google Account (easy and cheap)
    http://www.google.com/

    2 Install GPE Calendar
    http://downloads.maemo.org/office-business/

    3 Install Erminig
    http://downloads.maemo.org/office-business/

    4 Install Sync My Calendar
    http://www.syncmycal.com/index.htm

    Configure this and enjoy, if you choose you can have your events go one way from Outlook to Google - GPE or you can choose to sync. If you want to sync more than the default days of data a pay version of Sync My Calendar is available. The 'free' version works just as well with a limitation to the number of days. (I used the trial for a while till I realized how well it worked)

    I personally use mine to get business (outlook) appointment to GPE, I use GPE to pull down my calendar and my children's calendars to bring them together in a single view on my 800. GPE is the flaky-est of these links but is very usable, and so far the only part that requires intervention is to manually sync Erming (no auto schedule) (anyone know how to automate a sync say once every 2 hours?). I have it set to add appointments to GPE, this is synced with Google, and then this is transfered to Outlook and displayed in Rainlender as well.

    I also use Rainlender http://www.rainlendar.net/cms/index.php to display my calendars on my desktop (Windows and Linux) Rainlendar displays the Outlook and Google calendars on your desktop in a single view.

    You have not read all of the thread, several methods like this have been posted but the OP wants to:

    1, Sync note and contacts as well as calendar
    2, Does not want to use Google as a go between.

    Which can'r be done.

    Someone just sent along a link to PIM/Pi ...

    I just use GPE, Emering and Google Calender. Thats all I need. I get lost with all the stuff outlook 07 has and never use hardly any of it.

    Responding to Poweruser, where does it say its not a PDA with no PIM features on the Nokia USA site? It only says just enough to make you buy a $350+ unit to surf the web and has all this potential memory storage? Storage for what, all the web pages you download?

    That's the problem - JUST calendars - I need calendar/contacts/notes etc. Not E-Mail of course.

    I sucessfully use gSyncit ($10 from http://www.daveswebsite.com/software/gsync/ ) to automatically sync my outlook calendars to my google calendar, including syncing my holidays to a shared calendar. I've tried several outlook-google sync tools, and this one worked the best (to the point of putting up the cash)

    Contacts is still a manual process

    My site at http://cleardefinition.com/page/Sync...d_GPE_on_N800/ shows how to get GPE working and syncing on Linux. I think Graham, at http://www.cobb.uk.net/770/ , has some sort of Outlook OpenSync gizmo that I'm too busy at the moment to google for.

    Should be possible.

    We modified the outlook2vcal from https://gforge.bamafolks.com/projects/outlook2vcal. You can export all Outlook events and tasks to one vcal /ical file, all contacts to one vcard file.
    Source and .exe at:

    Hope it helps

    Storage for the music you listen to, the videos you watch, the pictures you want to keep around, etc...
