Thanks again
I just use Gmail. Just set up a new exchange server in ActiveSync in your phone. Server info is m.google.com

username is your username@gmail.com your password and domain should be greyed out. Just sync contacts, if you have a google calendar, you can sync your calendar too.

This is IMO the best way. Just about every smart phone syncs with Google now.

Unfortunately - for users of Google Sync - the talk is better than the woobly walk. There are many stories of inconsistent syncing or no syncing at all esp. with Gmail.

That is why I said imo... I have used it on a BB 8530, Samsung Moment, and my TP2 through Active Sync. No issues going back and forth.
I used to live and die by MyPhone but since it is proprietary to MS phones it is kind of limited.

But IMO myphone is better, because you can modify the files on the computer, you just need a windows live account.
yea but myphone has a 200mb storage which sucks.

How can I unzip that file for some reason I can not do it on my laptop or computer?
