LG VX-4500
Need Outlook Sync details, please
I am about to return my Motorola V710 mainly because of the Outlook sync issues it has- using Verizon software there is no calendar sync and using Mobile Phone Tools, there are a number of items that just won't import in both the phonebook and the datebook, like recurring appointments, and additional fields such as location and comments.

So fugly, but it works.
