Poor Man's Exchange Server - Google Mobile Sync

I said to my IT guy once, "Hey, I want to enter a calendar appointment or whatever on my Windows Mobile Smartphone and have it wirelessly sync with my Outlook and vice versa." He told me I need Microsoft Exchange Server. "Alright, what's involved and how much?" You'll need a server (a pc), Exchange server software, and a couple of hours of installation time and setting up your cell phone. "Are those my only options I asked?" There are other options, but Exchange is a good solid solution to do what you want to do.

I have found exactly what I am looking for ... and the great thing about it is that the solution is FREE. Google Mobile Sync allows me to sync my mobile phone to my Google calendar. By installing another free application from Google, Google Calendar Sync I can now enter an appointment on my cell phone and be assured when I get back to my office that same appointment will be reflected in my Outlook. How sweet is that!
