Default IPhones - Outlook compatibilty?

Hi

I have been looking at one of these iphones, and am quite keen to get one.

My biggest need is that it has to be able to synch with my outlook calendar. I know McJobs and McGates hate each other - so i wondered whether McJons has blocked any link with outlook and anything McGates related.

I have googled the question and am getting a pure 50/50 split on the answer, some yes some no.

anyone on here got one, and is able to sycnh with outlook?

Thanks in advance.

Stupid question but can you keep your old number if you get an iPhone?

yes - takes 5-7 days to port it across from your current supplier

Unlock the phone and continue to use your existing SIM

Cheers, just thinking about looking at possibilities of swapping the business phones over and can't afford to lose any of the numbers.

Good point. Or you could go down the Turbo Sim route instead and leave the phone 'locked' to O2.

You can gaurentee though that the boffs that have come up with the hacks to unlock the phone will soon get past Apples lockdown on future firmware upgrades...
