I don't want to sync calendar and notes from iPhone?

I don't mind the mail syncing but I don't want the calendar or my notes from the iPhone to sync. I want that to be private on my phone only.

Yes, this is what I've been looking for also - to no avail (yet.) How do you update Calendar, Notepad, etc on PC from phone (or vice versa) without having to use the internet (ie: sync)? There must be a way to transfer data using a cable and usb port! Or is this too old-fashioned now?
