Mobility Site - View Single Post - How long should Active Sync take to Sync for the first time?

No solution, but a similar problem. Each time I drop my X51v in the cradle, the "Looking for Changes" phase takes 4-6 minutes! Then it always syncs. If it stays in the cradle, subsequent syncs are very quick. I chatted with a Dell tech about it. He said that ActiveSync has to run through all your files (depending, of course, on how many things you have selected to sync) and sort through them all to find the changed or new files. If you are syncing a lot of stuff, it will take longer. But this problem I am having has recurred right after a Hard Reset, and comlete removal and reinstallation of Outlook 2002 and ActiveSync 4.1. I haven't even restored my data files yet. I DO have everything except Notes and Media set to sync. But about a week ago, when I had this thing fully loaded, it wasn't having the "looking" problem it is having now. I haven't solved this yet. One post suggested unchecking all but a single sync selection and then adding them back in and watchng the result. I'm going to try that.
