The 700w, like all Windows Mobile-based devices, can not wirelessly sync
with a PC for "security reasons" (according to Microsoft.) Earlier WM
devices could sync over Wi-Fi or even cellular via a VPN connection.

You CAN sync wirelessly with an Exchange Server. Mail2web.com offers a
free exchange account for e-mail, calendar, and contacts, but that free
account won't sync with your desktop copy of Outlook (but you can use
Outlook Web Access ove a browser from the desktop.)

If you define an exchange server account on the device, you can schedule
a sync with it.

Correct. Inability to sync wirelessly is a "feature" of WM5! :-(

You can, however, sync wirelessly, albeit at a much shorter range via
bluetooth if you add a bluetooth dongle to your PC.
