Need a phone that can sync email and calendar
I use Windows Live Mail on my PC. With it I can sync email, contacts and calendars with my Hotmail account. I also do this with my laptop and I can access the same information through a browser on any computer. Unfortunately I haven't been able to find a portable device - preferably a phone - that can do this without the additional steps of installing Outlook and ActiveSync. I have gone that route using Motorola Phone Tools and it hasn't been reliable.
I'm wondering if the Droid Eris (or any verizon phone) has the ability to sync Hotmail OTA? I also have a Gmail account and I would consider making it my primary account if sync is possible. Thanks in advance.

Forward your hotmail and windows live e-mail to your gmail and you'll recieve them on your phone. the phone will sync up your calenders with a gmail account.

I setup mail forwarding in Hotmail to my Gmail account and that's working OK - thanks! Regarding the phone syncing calendars you mean the Google calendar, right? And is that only the primary calendar or will it sync the secondary calendars as well?

All Android phones can sync with Google. I don't know what Hotmail offers, but I would imagine MS sets it up to work via Outlook or ActiveSync, if not Exchange. I haven't heard of Hotmail offering any kind of direct sync service.
