Best Mobile to Sync with Outlook (running Gmail)

Hi all

I am a freelancer and at the moment I have an iphone 5s. I have my emails (just about) on it linked to my outlook emails on my computer, but I want a better setup when my current phone contract ends next month.

I would like ideally to go to Sim Only and I want to be able to link up my phone and outlook properly, so I my calendar is synced up, my emails properly synced etc.

At the moment, emails are with gmail running through my outlook.

I am happy to provide any further information, and I would like peoples advice on the best mobile to get to achieve this.

Thanks!
I've just started entering the competitions (July 07). When I win I'll update this signature. Look on the bright side, I shouldn't have to update it very often.

    Any smart phone will allow that. If you only want sim only then why change from the iphone ?

    To keep your Outlook Calendar from your PC synchronised to your phone you really need to run Outlook calendar on the phone, and have your calendar on outlook.com, not local to the PC. MS have released Outlook client for Android and it is standard with a Windows phone.

    To keep Gmail synchronised, be sure to set up to use IMAP both on the PC and the phone.
