Not only disappearing contacts and duplicates, but information getting stripped from contacts too. I'm a little jealous. My wife has a Blackberry, and Google came up with a dedicated sync app for THEM.
Even if you don't use the email, I would highly recommend a Mail2Web Exchange account. It's by FAR the easiest OTA solution I've used. Even the free account should give you Contacts/Calendar/Task Sync. You don't even need to install anything, just use the built in Activesync. I once "accidentally" hard reset my phone waiting for my wife at the mall (stupid overclocking), and I had all my PIM replaced in about five minutes. No desktop needed.
Used with a Google sync solution you'd have some great redundancy.

Thanks for the suggestion, I do actually have OTA sync enable for Windows Live and it works great. The one I would really like though is gmail
I'm double syncing my contacts and calendar already with my desktop and google.

My emails come to me within 5 seconds of them reaching gmail. Also when you delete an email from gmail it deletes it in flexmail with seconds also. Worth a try, it works great for me-

Thanks. Yes I agress nuevasync works great for calendar and contacts, I use it everyday myself. I hope they start doing email soon but I suspect it'z going to be a while.
As for flexmail, is this the one you mean -

I'll download the trial and give it a shot but I'd like a free solution ideally
EDIT: I tried the flexmail trial, but there's no way to restrict message downloads to the last x days etc. So it's trying to download 10000+ messages, there didn't seem to be a way to change that.. Do you know how to do that?
