Synching your outlook with your Samsung Instinct alternative
For all the people who use Microsoft Outlook, there is an application called Microsoft Outlook SMS that is a plug in to your outlook. If set correctly, every time you update your calender or set a task for yourself, outlook will automatically send you a SMS to your phone. This is good because you dont have to log on to Gmail Calender to see your schedule. Now, if you ask, what about if im mobile and I want to update my calender. The way around this is to use your gmail calender, make your new entry, if you always leave your mac/pc on, the gmail sync will kick on and sync your gmail calender with your outlook calender, then send you an SMS with any new appointments. This is an alternative to just using gmail calender. Hope this helps out.. Samsung Instinct
