I use OneNote to organize EVERYTHING in my life, so now that I'm planning to buy an smartphone, I'm thinking of Windows Phone first (as i expect it to have a better OneNote app than iPhone and Android).

How is the syncing via USB of OneNote, and can WP7 display all the tags of ON?

You know, the "Search/Show tags" feature which displays a list of the tags on the right... can WP7 do something like this?

You are most Welcome, ...one more thing I believe that if one has a mac OS in your main computer then get an Iphone and If ones main computer is running on windows OS or any other OS except mac then get an android...:)[That's my opinion]Good Day..
