Let's see, I have a brand new Dell Axim X51V with MICROSOFT WINDOWS MOBILE 5 on it and a desktop with MICROSOFT VISTA ULTIMATE on it and using MICROSOFT WINDOWS MOBILE DEVICE CENTER will not sync with MICROSOFT OFFICE 2007 OUTLOOK at all. I have searched several forums, called tech support at Dell and Microsoft, opened ports on firewalls, added programs as exceptions, reinstalled operating systems, Office, WMDC all with the same result. These MICROSOFT PRODUCTS DO NOT SUCCESSFULLY WORK TOGETHER.
No wonder Dell is jumping ship and getting out of the PPC market. MICROSOFT could not find their ass with both hands.
I would venture to guess that NOBODY here can get the above products to work together as they are supposed to, reliabily and without any problems. If you can - please chime in here.
It is pretty unbelievable that MICROSOFT can not get their own products to work together, and that so many people are having such problems with synching Outlook 2007 and Vista.
Throw the PPC's in the garbage and get a small notepad and a pen. Works great and the worst that can happen is the pen runs out of ink. No tech support required, works EVERY time.
After this whole ordeal, If I could "Quit" on Microsoft and never buy or support their products again I would but how is a person going to do this? Instead, I simply have to give up the use of a PPC until MICROSOFT can figure this out and make their products work together. Oh, I will still have to make the paymets on my new Axim, even though it will not work as advertised. My old X5 was fine, but it has MICROSOFT PPC 2003 on it and the new MICROSOFT WMDC does not support their own products and said I needed a PPC with WM5 or newer on it to work with MICROSOFT VISTA. I bought VISTA, OFFICE 2007, WMDC latest release and a new PPC with WM5 on it and I still can not sync with all the latest Microsoft products freshly installed, thousands of dollars later. Good news for MICROSOFT though, they made a bunch of money and thats what counts to them, not having software that works with it's own.
Thanks to all on this site who have dilligently tried to help so many others like myself, to no avail. Hopefully someday my new PPC will work before it becomes extinct as well.
Just don't forget - We are all at the mercy of the MICROSOFT CORPORATION for a solution here...
