For a first post, maybe that title raises a question???

I am interested in a Smartphone Professional, running Windows Mobile with a touch screen. Before selecting one, this is what I am interested in being able to do...

1. Sync a data base on a Windows laptop with Contacts on the WM phone.

2. Use a 3rd party email client on the phone, drawing from Contacts.

3. Be able to print envelopes and labels from the data base on the laptop.

4. Run an email client on the laptop that would draw from the data base.

5. Be able to print the contacts out in a customized format.

Outlook and Word combined would likely do this, but is expensive.

Are there any suggestions for a good, but simple, maybe freeware data base for the above??? If it saves the data file as a tab delimited file, that would be extra nice.

I am using nPOPuk on a PPC now, and would be satisfied with that as the email client for a Smartphone Professional.

Thanks for any pointers,
