I hate to sent this phone back if I can not send pics.
This may sound silly, but since I have no experience either but I figured out how to get it to work I'll write down what I did. Totally unscientific method:
1) I copied the .zip file and the .cab file to both my computer and the phone.
2) extracted the .zip file and the .cab file on the computer, and tried installing that way.
3) Went to the Programs folder on the phone and used the zip extractor program to extract the .zip file and the .cab file, then ran the install if there was one.
4) Re-read all the postings while I restarted my phone and computer. (I have another laptop)
5) activesynced again, looked to see if anything showed up.

Eventually, I got everything working. I really don't recommend this method, and I am sure I'll get lambasted by another. But I got it working.

Except the date thing. I get a date of m/9/08 and I think it is because the phone writes the date as January 9, 2008 not 1/9/08.

Good luck. Really, I mean it. That's what I needed.
Oh, and I need a dumb blonde smiley to insert right here, if anyone knows how to make one.
