You don't have to have a WM phone to sync with Outlook. It took maybe 5 minutes for me to set up Outlook sync with my Blackberry. Now I plug in the cord and it does it automatically. Simple and effective. I use it for the calendar, but you can do contacts as well.

I don't know how I did without Google Maps. It has been invaluable when I go to other cities. If I'm lost or looking for something I just punch it in my phone. This is WITHOUT GPS, as Google Maps is able to roughly triangulate your location within a few miles using cell towers. It would be even better with the GPS built in.
