Nightwind Hawk Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 I've been loyal to Outlook for many years, however, ever since switching to outlook 2010 (even though I like it much more than 2007), I've found myself accessing my gmail through the webmail rather than Outlook. Now I'm wondering if I should switch the calendar over to Google as well... what do you guys prefer using for your calendar and why?

Lee G. Veteran Posted November 24, 2009 Veteran Share Posted November 24, 2009 I use Outlook calendar. I have just found it easy and suitable to use. I don't sync my calendar with my phone because I only use a standard phone.

i_was_here Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 Google Calendar is good enough for my needs, its free, and doesn't require I install any software.

primexx Posted November 25, 2009 Share Posted November 25, 2009 Google Calendar I don't even install outlook, too complicated an app for something so simple, and I can't access it anywhere in the world either.

temple_treefrog Posted November 26, 2009 Share Posted November 26, 2009 Windows Calendar. Very responsible and does what I need. I was using Windows Live Calendar and really liked it (UI is great, Hotmail integration etc) however it's just impossible to sync it with an Android phone. So now I've switched to Google Calendar.

null_ Posted November 26, 2009 Share Posted November 26, 2009 While I typically use Outlook 2007, I have been using Google Calendar and access Gmail through the web interface quite a bit lately and am contemplating switching over entirely. I've thought about switching back to Windows Live Hotmail and Windows Live Calendar myself, and I'm not that big a fan of the Hotmail online UI (weird quirks with opening messages in a new window for example), and I've tried both of them with Windows Live Mail a bit... while I like the integration, I'm not that big a fan of the application itself - not to mention to-do's or tasks are not synchronizable from the Windows Live online service to the Windows Live Mail application. I love the simplicity and features that Gmail and Google Calendar offers, it's accessible from anywhere in the world, and both Gmail and Google Calendar can be set up to synchronize with just about any mobile smartphone device out there - BlackBerry, iPhone, Android, etc. Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/848902-google-calendar-vs-outlook-calendar/#findComment-591896880 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shadrack Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 I use my MobileMe calendar for my personal stuff. I sync MobileMe with Outlook at home, so I selected Outlook. I also use Outlook at work with an Exchange server. Both my MobileMe and Exchange server calendar are sync'd to my iPhone via push. First time I've ever had a no-hassle calendar syncing setup. Very cool. Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/848902-google-calendar-vs-outlook-calendar/#findComment-591952254 Share on other sites More sharing options...
