I Need Phone - Tablet - PC Advice
I am at a crossroads in my IT situation and I know my peeps at Bogely are all over this stuff, so here goes.
I am a heavy Microsoft Office 2010 user (heavy Word and some Excel and Power Point) spending most of my time at my desk using my Windows 7 PC. I have used an iPhone until it died this week.
Because of my iPhone emergency, I went to go get the new iPhone 5 as a replacement but decided to try out the Droid ecosystem. I got the Galaxy Note (because the Note II was not yet out) with the understanding I have now just under 14 days to return it and get whatever else I want (iPhone 5, Galaxy SIII, Galaxy Note II or Windows 8 phone).
I am at a crossroads and need your input.
Here is my killer app need. When I am out of the office and reply to emails on my phone or tablet, I want my email reply to look just like I sent it from my desktop Microsoft Outlook, which matches exactly all the fonts and html signatures and formats used by Outlook.
I use Google Apps to sync my Outlook email, calender, contacts etc with my iPhone previously and currently my Droid. However, you can tell when I reply to emails using my phone and though it syncs pretty well with Outlook, tasks and some other things don't work as well. I have tried to make Gmail match my Outlook, but due do the limited fonts in Gmail and the way Gmail quotes replies, it just doesn't work and you can see the difference.
I am thinking of switching to the Windows 8 system, which I am hoping will be device neutral. This would mean I would move from Google Apps to Windows 365 and I would also likely get a Windows 8 phone.
Does anyone have experience with 365 and the new Windows 8 ecosystem? If I make the switch can I really manage it so that you can't tell if I am replying from desktop, tablet or phone?
I spoke with the Windows 8 rep at the AT&T store today, but this person was pretty clueless about my issue. It also doesn't help that Microsoft named its new web based email Outlook, the same as its desktop app that is ubiquitous in business.
Thanks for any input you can provide.

Office 365 is supposed to be coming to Android and iOS next year.
