....how do Nokia mobile owners manage?

I am new to Symbiam and an thinking about getting the new Nokia E65.

For the last three years I have had a Windows smartphone but there now seems to be a lack of new smartphones unless I go for one with a full qwerty keyboard which are bulky and heavy.

I like the look of the E65 it seems to do most of what I want..........which is carry lots of data, contacts, notes, calendar etc.

But reading through some threads here about Nokia,s not being able to sync. categories from outlook or sync all the fields in contacts........I'm now in two minds. All my data is in Outlook. I input most of my data on my PC into Outlook and sync it to my mobile. I did also here that Nokia truncates Outlook notes that are to long.

I did use the SonyE M600i for a few weeks and that did sync all my contacts, notes calendar etc with Outlook without loss of data. Although it did not sync categories and it did not put my notes in any sort of order.

I was reasonably happy with the M600i synchronising with Outlook, but did not like the touch screen............I was hoping that Nokia would be at least as good as SonyE. They are both Symbian s60 are they not?

If Nokia is as bad at synchronising with Outlook as a lot of thread seem to indicate, how do Nokia mobile owners manage?

Do I go for the E65?

The way both OS works, is not exactly the same. But for some one that have for three years Windows Mobile, the best bet is try before buy, any S60 device.
