Just to chime in, I have about 1100 contacts, and my pim.vol is 8.1 MB. (cemail.vol ~2.5MB). I didn't use a timer, but I think the initial sync (through the PC AS connection) took at least 3-4 hours. I use Mail2web and have noticed no delay at all in subsequent syncs. In fact, when I used strictly M2W for the initial sync over the air, it seemed to be done much quicker, probably less than an hour - I'll test this next time I flash. With these kinds of sync times, you can see why flashing is not something I like to do every day.
BTW, although I like PIMBackup for call logs, I've avoided it for contacts and all the other Outlook objects - it seems that's the path to duplicate records. Anybody know different? i.e. is it possible to flash/hard-reset and restore PIM data, re-build your sync partnerships and still have all the data fully synced without going through the initial sync process? Thanks, tmb
