Cheapest place to buy Microsoft Outlook

Hi everyone

Do you know where the cheapest place to buy Microsoft Outlook is? My phone (HTC Diamond) came with a free trial copy of Outlook 2007 but this has now expired. I use Outlook to manage my contacts and diary and also back them up. Now that the software has expired many features are disabled.

Thanks.

    Thanks for that but I forgot to mention I don't have children, not a student either, and also my employer is not taking part in the home licensing scheme. I'm sure your post will be useful to someone else though.

    It's £88 at Amazon. The Home and Student Office 2007 edition doesn't contain outlook, so you sadly can't get it cheaply that way.

    You might be able to find some genuine copies on eBay, but I imagine the majority won't be genuine!

    Only other option is to buy another device with it bundled, but I doubt you'll get it under £90.

    Thanks isofa. That looks like a good price. I am going to wait a bit while I consider downgrading to a copy of Outlook 2002 which I already own.

    They don't actually check if you have children - if you are a "guardian" or buying it for a child you can still get the same deals.

    I don't know many 4 or 5 year olds who are interested in using Excel, or have much of a need for Outlook!!

    Try Thunderbird with lightning. Free, respected and better supported.
    Ubuntu is an ancient African word, meaning: 'I can't configure Debian'.
