Is there a better client to use for windows/iPhone? I really can't wait for the sync all the time and would be happy to put my money into a slightly less secure wallet just so it's faster. Obviously I wouldn't risk a silly amount of bitcoin.

Take a look at Electrum and MultiBit. Either of those are likely to suit your needs.

You also may want to take a look at https://blockchain.info/wallet

It is ok to send while out of sync, if you right click on the transaction and select 'show transaction details', if it has been sent ok it will have been broadcast to the network through 'x' amount of nodes.

You will get confirms when the client catches up downloading the blockchain.

Thank you for your help; the transaction has gone through fine :-) but the client still has no confirms thank you for clearing this up....

Ok, so I've let my wallet fall way out of Sync with the network, I need to send some bitcoins. Am I able to send them without my wallet synchronizing?

I'm using the default wallet qt client. I've sent the coins but they don't seem to be getting confirmed is this because the wallet is out of sync or just because bitcoin's are slow?

Thanks guys.
