USB connection
...not WiFi connection, and it's 13 minutes for (a) the software to recognise the handset, and then (b) synchronise.
You can't synchronise the Samsung phone using WiFi, unless you use the incredibly (even more) laborious process of three-way synching with Google, and potentially suffer the consequences of having your entire contact list stored on the Evil Empire's servers.
And like I said, the WiFi connection is not that much of an issue. I just happened to mention it first because it was top of mind, but what really got my back up in the first place, and put me in such a foul mood over this phone, was the inability to sync my calendar as easily and quickly as a BB or Windows or iPhone does. It's a long-winded palaver, and the calendar sync only works from Outlook to the phone, not in the other direction (which kinda nullifies the point of having a smart phone in the first place, doesn't it).
