The easiest way I’ve found to get my contacts from Outlook to my Droid X … check out transferring contacts between Outlook and Gmail .
Decidedly low tech – but it was much easier than retyping 
To sync your calendar – try Google Calendar Sync.
Good luck!
What a pain the Droid X is turning out to be. I can’t live with it, and I can’t live without it.
It’s like a pair of shoes that look and feel amazing, but just don’t fit quite right. You spend a lot of time hoping your feet were of the right size 
It’s actually one of the most amazing devices I’ve ever owned – the display is simply gorgeous, and the interface is amazing.
So what’s not to like? Well how about its battery life? My battery drains even while the phone is inactive. And, by drain, I mean it goes down by as much as 40% while it sits on my bedstand.
My workaround? Turn it off before I go to bed – or leave it charging all night.
And, by default, the Wifi turns itself off when the screen is turned off. Then when you turn the phone back on, you don’t get online without waiting for anywhere from 5 to 15 to 30 minutes. Even your 3G is powerless to help.
My workaround? I found this on a Moto forum – go into advanced settings and choose not to turn off Wifi when the display is turned off. I’m guessing this will eat up battery – but it’s much better than having to wait for Wifi to kick in.
Will I return this phone, and get a Droid 2 or the Incredible instead? I’m not sure – ask me in 2 weeks.
For now, I’m folding my feet so they fit into these shoes. Maybe I’ll get used to walking this way
I spent some time last night installing and configuring the Netgear WNDR3700 router, and was blown away by everything that this little device does. In addition to serving as a gigabit and wireless router (its raison d’etre), I now have an installed NAS device, and a DLNA-compliant media server to boot!
The highlight of this device was when I copied some photographs and music over to the attached USB drive and ran over to access them on my PS3. Accessing media without having to leave a media server always on is going to be great!
If you’re going to try this at home – note that setting a read-access password seems to disable the media server. It took me a while to figure this out … an hour of my life that I’ll never get back
Obviously any device that tries to do too much makes certain design tradeoffs, and that’s the case with this router as well. The access to the NAS drive is fairly slow, and there are issues with securing access to it. However, its safe to say that I’m a convert now, and have gladly retired ol’ faithful – my Linksys WRT54GL.
