Finally you can send text messages from Outlook. Yes, I know that you could send them as an email before, but the new Outlook 2007 features adds some nice integration.
To send a text message you merely choose File, New, Text Message from the menu. The following dialog box is shown. Note that you can schedule the sending of the message.

The feature I think is the most attractive and important is that I can setup Outlook to send notifications of pending appointments or tasks. Forget about those annoying computer-based Outlook appointment reminders! Now they go right to my cell phone.
