I have a smarthphone running that crap M$ garbage excuse for an OS. I started with Activesync on XP. Then I went to the horrible "Windows Sync Center" (WSC) on Vista. After totally deleting the data on my phone several times, I found that WSC is totally stupid and can not sync the phone data in any intelligent way. Regardless of what option you set, the data on the computer overwrites the data on the phone, which is usually disastrous. To deal with it, you have to totally delete the sync relationship from the computer so that when you hook up the phone the computer doesn't recognize it. Then the computer will grab the data from your phone. It's utter crapware. On top of that, it won't sync contacts unless you install crap-bloatware Outlook. And when you do that? Then it duplicates any contact you've edited on your phone since the last sync. All M$ software is crap, but Windows Mobile and associated syncing systems are utter crap. Avoid.
