Problems Solved!

3) Cannot sync with my host PC.

OK, I managed to solve my problems with some searching.

I had followed the info in Colonel's readme.txt, which states "If you have backed up your pim.vol, you can place it in the Boot folder and it will be copied for you."

However, my pim.vol was from a 2.x ROM. While searching on USB sync issues, I found eyeballz's post in another thread which states "once you make the jump to 3.3+ you will be able to sync with exchange going forward. Under no circumstances should you use the pim.vol from a aku build of 2.2 or lower."

This may be common knowledge to most people, but IMO it wouldn't hurt to have this caution added to any install guide/readme file.
