I have never liked activesync. it's bulky, has a mind of it's own and is one of the flakiest programs to use over usb. to me it's only useful purpose is for exchange email. for that matter even outlook has left a bad taste in my mouth over the years and this year I broke that habit. I get very tired of the proprietary nature of these appz.
for example; active sync has very poor conflict management. (if there is a conflict [ie you changed a contacts phone#] activesync (wmdc) will only pick one outlook's version or the phone's version depending on your setting. why can't it show you (the user) the conflict in question and let you decide which to keep or merge.
I use dashwire now, (i'm not saying it's conflict managemt is leaps and bounds, but it's getting there) and they're working hard at making it a positive experience.
after using bitpim for so many years with "normal" phones I got used to actually having control over my contacts.
EDIT; I just noticed this is kinda off topic, but that ? kinda hit home with me.
