Sync 2 devices on one computer?

I love my Axim, but unfortunately as it is, it's no smartphone.

That said: My Samsung D900 is very pretty but not smart at all...
The calendar sync is the worst I have ever seen. It syncs no reoccuring appointments and a maximum of 400 so it's pretty useless for more that just telephoning.

I am reconsidering my mobile device situation and the HTC Vox has caught my eyes. because it's WM6, doesn't lack a numpad and also has a keyboard (I really suck @ T9).

So my question: can I sync two WM6 Devices over ActiveSync or the Windows Vista equivalent (I will be getting Vista soon)?

I know you can have more than one device with only one having your e-mails saved but can you have 2 devices cradled at the same time or would I have to disconnect the axim prior to syncronising the HTC Vox?

I've got Axim, nokia 6288 and iPod connected and synced, and using phone for 3G modem.

but you can't have two devices synced through AS connected at the same time. As long as your device has it's own independant software for sync it should be OK to sync at same time but will slow PC down
If and when, why can't we pray?

As psionandy pointed out, you can only have one device connected at a time to Active sync,

but as Pedah points out, active sync is not effected by phones or ipods that don't use Active sync.

If you install Card Export on the WM devices you can have both connected at the same time.
Either both as logical drives, or one AS and one Logical.

Not the answer I hoped for, yet the one I expected and thank you for it :-)

Now I am just stuck with these questions:

Would I still be carrying arround my heavy Axim if I get the Vox?
Would the Axim become obsolete?
Do I really need the Vox as long as I have to carry the Axim around anyway since my D900 is nothing but a phone?
Is the Keyboard really of use for me?
If not should I rather get a Symbian Phone (without the problems of dual sync)?
Wouldn't a normal phone with decent sync be enough?
Why does the D900 have to suck to much in terms of sync?
If I decide to get the Vox should I rather wait for the HSPDA Version (HTC Wings)?
Do I really need to be connected 24/7 via HSDPA?
Would the offline Version of Wikipedia become obsolete with HSDPA?
If yes should I rather get a big (touch-)screen WM6 HSDPA Axim replacement?
Would that not be too big to carry to occasions when you don't need the organiser (parties)?
Should I then just keep my D900 for specially those occasions?
Would that be too expensive?
Would my D900 be up to date (concerning contacts) if I just use it occasionally?

Too many questions :-)
