Sync and transfer with a computer question

Im in the market for my 2 year replacement and Im thinking about the Kin Two M. I was curious if anyone has tried to sync the calender in the phone with Outlook or tried the sync with Outlook thru Zune?

I have read different ways to access your Outlook calender from Windows live and the internet, but I would like to be able to transfer the data via a cable connection to my computer if possible.

The 2M has all the features that Im looking for talk/text, camera, WIFI, and calendar. All the reviews that I can find are for the Kin 2 but nothing on the 2M. If you have any comments good or bad I would like to hear them.

Thanks

Long review i wrote a while back, but i hope its helpful. Good luck on getting the phone that you are looking for! I'll put in a good word for the Kin 2m, but decide for yourself!

i have had no such luck getting the calander to sync with the KIN twom. zune software only manages music, videos, photos, and music licenses.

I made the leap and go the Kin 2m today, so far so good, and the review that you did was one of the deciding factors for me to get it. Thanks again for all the help.

However it was funny at the Verizon store, I spent more time convincing the salesman to sell me the phone then it took to transfer my old contacts.

Why did it take a while to get them to sell it to you?

And also, did you auto-transfer them at the store, or manually one-by-one? Because when i went in to re-transfer my contacts (i got a warranty replacement), i was informed that they no longer had the machines to transfer contacts through direct-connection of the old and new phones.

I think that it took so long because the guy was almost offended that I was switching from a smartphone to a feature phone. He kept on and on about the operating system, the lack of fwd text messages, and customizing, and he said that it is one of the most returned phones that they get. I had a retort to all of his arguments with things that I read in your blog and from video reviews that I watched.

I do believe his distaste for the phone had to do with his lack of knowledge for the phone and his bias for the droid phones.

They transferred all my contact in the store, he took my Omnia (old phone) and the Kin to the back and was done in a matter of a couple of minutes. How ever they do it has to do with a program that was in the My documents folder of my Omnia.

Im still trying to find a bulletproof way of accessing the internet via WiFi and disabling the 3g connection. I went to my account online and blocked the data connection but that eliminated the WiFi hook up too. For now Im just using the airplane mode, any suggestions?
