I'm pretty much the whole company, though....
All I really need to get sync'd is Notes - between the PC and the Droid, somehow, and the initial "conversion" is done. But then I need to mirror the phone on the PC, etc.
I'll likely have to upgrade Outlook, but that wouldn't be the end of the world.
(I wonder if Backup Assistant will OUTPUT .CSV's.... )
Guess the point is that I'm used to Outlook, and while I'd switch to something else, it doesn't seem that the Droid supports anything except contacts and the calendar, by separate means. Whole lot more painful than just plugging in the sync cord....
One-time transfer is a good starting point, of course, but....
Meantime, I just found out that the browser doesn't support Java. I use GoToMyPC a LOT, and it requires it.... Again, nothing I couldn't live without, but also yet another "what were they thinking?"....
One problem with zillions of apps is that finding them gets interesting....
I can write PC-based stuff to handle Outlook's CSVs, and may end up having to do that if I can find a WP of some kind to handle the notes. Swapping in and out of Google's Calendar and Backup Assistant is going to be a bit of fun, though.

Log into My Verizon, and then go to contacts. You want to view the contacts, then find/click 'Select All' , then after all contacts are selected, look for the gear just to the right. Click on the gear, and there will be a menu with Export Contacts. This will export contacts into a CSV file that you choose.
I searched the Market for gotomypc, and found PhonemyPC. It has its own client for the PC (which they claim is free) and the Android app is $9.99. The comments are mostly positive,with a few bad comments thrown in. Just a thought here. I do understand about the java not working frustration. I wonder if you have tried the Dolphin or Opera Mini browsers that you can get from the Market? I don't know if that will work for you or not, just a thought.
and I do understand why you do not want to use Exchange..... if my workplace didn't have it, I wouldn't be using it
