Droid RAZR ap to sync with Outlook

I am looking for a (hopefully free) ap to sync my PC Outlook contacts, emails, calendar, tasks with the appropriate RAZR aps. The Android market and VZ market reviews of the products are all over the board with some saying "Great ap" and others saying "Junk" about the same product. Anybody found a really good product that syncs reliably between your RAZR and Outlook?

There are a ton of options, which is part of what makes it confusing.   You can look at this grid which shows you which programs sync what data and how.  You can even click on the program and get instructions on how to do it.

Sometimes people write bad reviews because it doesn't work with their version of Outlook, or it doesn't support sync of some feature (calendar, tasks, etc.) that the software never claimed to sync with.  The chart should help you filter down your options.  Many of the apps have free or trial versions too so you can try it.

I used to use Outlook but have since switched over to Google for mail, calendar, etc. so I'm afraid I can't give any personal recommendations.  Having said that, it looks like MyPhoneExplorer has a lot of downloads and good reviews - and it's free! DejaOffice-Outlook also got good many good reviews and is free.  So maybe they're worth trying.

Ok. SallyC's reccomendations are good. Thing is(without looking at the apps)I do not see a way that anything can sync with your Outlook unless there is some sort of "agent" software running on the workstation that has Outlook on it.

Smash,

I agree - the ap would need an agent on the PC to apply the "sync" items on that side.

Tjg - have you looked at any of the links?   I don't think you're going to find someone who's going to be able to tell you "the solution" unless they, by chance, have the exact same software versions, setup and sync requirements as you.  But there are some pretty popular options linked to and the grid should help you narrow it down more if you are having problems.  The grid page even tells you how to do if you click on the program link.

Touchdown, which is what I use - will sync everything you want it to sync. I've used it in both an Exchange and a stand alone configuration.

I thought Touchdown was only for Corporate Email Syncing....
