OK chaps, I need your advice again please.

I have all my contacts in Outlook 2010 and, perversely, Windows Phone 8 doesn't sync with Outlook

I guess the best idea would be to use a cloud application to keep my Outlook contacts synced with my phone.

So - what's the best one please? Preferably at no cost

One feature of windows phone I didn't like. All previous versions (windows CE, windows mobile) synced with outlook and I kind of took it for granted. I'm sure there's something that syncs the contacts using hotmail, but I can't comment on it as I don't use it. You can import your SIM contacts, so I synced an older nokia phone using the nokia app, copied the contacts to the SIM, then put the SIM in my windows phone and copied them in. I now manage the contacts on the phone itself. Not the best way, but after several incidents I don't particularly trust the cloud not to leak all my friends phone numbers, email and so on.

Any other views please chaps?

This is the microsoft way to do it:
