I've been moving away from Outlook lately. I used it for years, but I got tired of instability. I also got tired of ActiveSync duplicating my appointments and tasks and contacts for no good reason. It usually happened after a hard reset or when I started syncing with a new computer, but sometimes it just happened for no apparent reason.

I use FlexMail 4 on my Samsung Epix for email, but on the desktop or laptop I use gmail's web client. I started putting everything on Google Calendar. I know, privacy concerns, but it works and it syncs with just about everything but my wife's paper calendar on the fridge.

For tasks, I've been using Remember The Milk. I finally bought the pro subscription yesterday. I'm completely out from under Outlook, so I can ditch Windows Mobile when I get a new device. I should have gotten an iPhone instead of the Epix, but I was too dependent on Outlook at the time.

I agree that Outlook is slow. I've also had stability issues with it, especially while syncing with my phone.
