Not really...BUT... the Touch HD is a Windows Mobile device and as such
offers a number of syncing and management options. The bad news is that
these largely assume you will be using MS Outlook on your PC, and it is a
Windows PC. There are options for MAC users, but I'm not real familiar with
them. If you use a MAC, post back and someone is sure to help.

For the PC though, you will need either ActiveSync, for XP, or Windows
Mobile Device Center, for Vista. Both are available at
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/en-us/downloads/microsoft/default.mspx
Look in the updates box.

These allow you to sync most all of the information, contacts, calendar,
etc. you keep in Outlook.

For those that gripe about buying Outlook, OK, but you can pick up a copy
of 2007 for under $50
(http://www.provantage.com/microsoft-543-03865~7MCSK026.htm). I've always
found it a very useful product in it's own right, though I know some
disagree. Some time back there were third party programs that allowed you to
sync with PIMs other than Outlook, such as Palm Desktop, or Lotus Notes, but
those sync products cost $30-$100 themselves, were not upgraded to work with
the newer OSs, and are a bit hard to find even if you have an older device.
I agree that MS probably should have made WM sync with Vista Calendar and
Contacts, since those two products came with Vista, but they didn't, and
nobody appears to have stepped up to fill that gap... So, the options are
find a copy of Outlook, type all the info directly into the device and get a
good backup solution (like MyPhone, for some things), or rely on some of the
web based options, someone is sure to bring up.

Using MS products is not necessary. I synch my contacts, calendar,
tasks and notes to Thunderbird/Lightning using BirdieSync and
ActiveSync. I have an ATT Tilt running WM 6.1. It was not a painless
setup but certainly doable.
