Question
I'm curious does Verizon offer a phone that sync's with MS outlook calendar without having to get the data package?  I really just want a phone that makes and receives calls, texts and pictures as well as sync's with my outlook calendar without having to get the data package.  The smart phones just seem so over kill for what I'm looking for.  Thanks for answering!

Answer
I'm not aware of any phones that Verizon sells that are able to sync with Outlook that are not SmartPhones and therefore require a data package. I can understand the frustration, but I believe that the intent is to sync wirelessly and you can only do this with SmartPhones. Hopefully, there will be phones sometime soon that will allow for this, but as it is right now, all phones with Windows Mobile on them or BlackBerry are all SmartPhones and all require a data package. I hope this helps. Thanks. DebiN
