iPhone syncs with Outlook and Entourage -- kind of {Engadget Mobile}

Are you serious? Do you know how many home users use Outlook as a contact database? Or how many consumer smartphone users already sync their phones to their computers using Outlook?
I'm always amazed when people ask why a product should be able to do something that they personally don't use it for. We all have different setups chachi and there are a lot of us who use Outlook at home.

I think it's more accurate to say that wifi CAN be free. So maybe you could have written it: You hear that? Free*
* at select locations
I (along with a lot of other people) need/want always-on high speed everywhere I go and 3G serves that role very well. Sure, free wifi is great at the local coffee house (and many other places), but almost every hotel I go to charges for their wifi. I prefer a flat $50/month/"everywhere I go" option to a $10/day "only in my hotel room" option.
Wifi in a phone is great (though there is a definite battery life issue that is bigger than the 3G radio). My point about the F700 is that HSDPA goes a LONG way toward
mimimizing the loss of wifi. People who buy this phone are going to get some kind of data plan and most of the carriers price things as such that you'll spring the extra cash for the unlimited plan anyway.
Still a much better feature set than the iPhone. I hope the final UI rocks.

Pretty sure it's going to continue to be their own OS. Still, I saw a demo of the OS and it looks pretty solid. Probably no 3rd party apps, but robust sync with Outlook, solid media player and an amazing camera for those of us who care (5mp). Also, I don't get the "no wi-fi" comments. I travel a lot (granted to major cities) and 3G coverage is amazing in the states now.
