Best Approach to Sync Phone/Computer
 

This topic has come up before so I'm going to ask a generic question and for specific advice.

Generic:
What are people using to Sync their email and Mobile/PDA?

Specific:
I currently use Outlook, but desperately want to move to Thunderbird. What is keeping me back is that my Nokia software won't sync with Thunderbird.

I have a Nokia 6230 (which supposedly supports SyncML) that connects to my PC via Bluetooth and automatically syncs with Outlook when within range. I want to do the same to Thunderbird with the least amount of contortions.

I've taken a look at Sync4j project but am not quite sure if that is what I should use nor how to go about doing it.

What recommendations/configuration would you recommend?

Why not just move to Thunderbird for email only, and leave your contacts in Outlook.

Or consider moving your contacts to a different application, like ACT or Lotus...

I could but it seems cumbersome to use to different applications for contacts and calendar. I am really more interested in keeping the calendar in sync with occasional contact updates. I use my phone like many use a PDA. I don't carry a laptop around with so need to view my calenar on my phone and sometimes add items, while my PC deals with meeting requests.

I want to have my cake and eat it too.

With blackberry enterprise server 4.0 on microsoft exchange, all of my contacts and calendary synchronize over GPRS between exchange/outlook and my blackberry 7100T. It's just about the only technology i've ever experienced that really lives up to its promise.
