I know you don't want to use google but for those that do I have a very easy option for this.

I use Outook and sync it with my PDA, I also Sync Outlook with Google using Companionlink which works with any flavour of Outlook (from 97- 2007), very easy to use and just one click of a desktop icon to sync.

Then to keep my N800 up to date with an Erminig Sync.

I have PDA, Laptop, Google & N800 all sync'd with just two clicks one on the laptop and one on N800.
