I guess that depends on whether you like the software that you're locked to.

Stinger, All the software Nokia comes out with for syncing with the PC are worse than appalling, they are outright dangerous and perfectly capable of crippling a good working machine with its multiple badly functioning drivers and useless whatnots. After experiencing Nokia software I would have say it would be long time before I ever thought about going back to a Nokia based phone.

Also I believe the reviewer discussed synching with Outlook and Exchange not Outlook Express.
