I am asking for a friend who just bought an 8700 and only has a work computer with a work related Outlook installed. Are there any free utlitiles, like Outlook to sync contacts and calender or a way to have a seperate outlook program for personal use?

Thanks,
Caleb

You need to use Desktop Manager to sync. You can install one of the PIM's listed in Intellisync as an option to sync with or create a new (personal) Outlook profile.
