I am using outlook.com for my web-based services.  I have an android phone (Motorola Droid Razr) on which I have installed the outlook.com app.  I have no issues with e-mail or calendar, but I can't seem to figure out how to get the outlook.com 'Tasks' on the phone. Does anyone know how to sync the task list to an android phone?

Just in case anyone else stumbles across this, as I did when trying to sync my outlook tasks to my android calendar... 

To accomplish this, set up your Outlook.com email address as a Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync account in your Android Phone (I have a Note 2).  Do this by going to Settings, Accounts, Add account.  Then, choose Microsoft ActiveSync account in the next step.  Add your Outlook.com address and Password as it walks you through the set-up process.  It will, by default, have you set up to sync, email, contacts and tasks.  When this is done,  go to the calendar app on your phone.  Your Outlook tasks should be there along with your calendar entries.

Hope this helps someone.

    I agree.  I'm trying very hard to stay loyal to windows but daily get pushed into the seamless and easy place of google.  I need my tasks on the go and outlook.com is making me very frustrated.

    No I don't. Sometimes I wonder if they use the software they write. The worst part is, they have a nack for making it seem like the users fault.

    Do you thinks the folks at Microsoft just don't get the user?

    GreyBeard's post may be harshly worded, but he does have a point. If I use microsoft products but not apple's, its because your products work on many platforms, not just your own hardware. Task sync is a pretty basic functionality...
