Mobility Site - View Single Post - Is anyone else disappointed with ActiveSync?

I am a fairly new user of the X50V and absolutely agree that ActiveSync is very poor.

A couple of times now calendar sync has failed with some 6 digit error code on Outlook which I havent bothered to look up. Even when I deleted the entry in my PC Outlook it still refused to resolve. Pah !

I think it is really stupid that you cant create a partnership using Wifi but you can subsequently sync using Wifi if you set up the partnership by another means. Why not for goodness sake ???

I have only had the Axim a couple of weeks and I have already pretty much given up syncing stuff. My docs are all on my SD card which ActiveSync wont sync to so I manually sync the files myself. I really only use ActiveSync to download software, that's all.

I wonder if ActiveSync 4 for PPC 2005 will also work with PPC 2003 SE. If so maybe MS have fixed most of our issues ?
