I mean, look at all of this critical stuff it cant do!

1) Activesync does not allow you to create partnerships with more than 2 Personal Computers.

2) Activesync cannot synchronize more than ONE mail account inbox. So you will need to decide on which PC to synchronize the inbox and if you are creating a partnership first on the PC with which you do NOT want to synchronize the inbox make sure you do not tick the box to synchronize this.

3) Activesync is UNABLE to synchronize data with another PIM software (including Outlook Express). It can only synchronize with Outlook itself.

4) Activesync can only synchronize data in the main Tasks, Contacts and Notes directories and not sub-directories. It is advisable to use “Categories” to classify and sort your data as Activesync can synchronize this information.

5) Activesync cannot synchronize data/ files to any memory other than the main memory of your device.

6) Activesync cannot create a partnership using WIFI.

One of my biggest beefs is that I need to use Outlook to sync any contacts info. When I had a palm it had all of that stuff included in the desktop. I also hate how everytime you hard reset your Axim, you have to create a new partnership. Palm would let you select which account you wanted to use. Anyone else think MS could have done a lot better job with this software?
