Weird. I've got a 3630 and it came with a copy of Outlook 2000. That was the main reason why I started to use Outlook.
You can do an Activesync over ethernet, USB, serial and IRDA. I wouldn't try serial unless you're really desperate as it takes ages just for a basic one where nothing has changed.

I'm not sure how useful my PDAs are. I never seem to use them apart from playing games and reading eBooks. My contacts list and their details are stored in my phone anyway as it's one of those with basic PDA features. I do agree that having a good camera is a better buy than a PDA tho.
