The calendar part is vital 4 me. I can sync it with outlook etc & it is
now my calendar period with the PC just as (A) a backup & (B) as a
networked thing in that my work calender is "shared".

Plug my phone into the USB port run the sync & I'm done.

However I don't take my laptop into meetings so if I am checking my
calendar wrt free slots or adding info I do so via my phone.
