thanks. i'll give it a try.
How about they actually get a working version on Vista RC1?!?! It isn't even built into the RC...which tells me they are going to have at least RC2 which they have done in the past, and even maybe RC3...
Too much junk in Vista don't work..
Anyway, this is really only worthwhile if you are not using MSFP2 and Exchange for Push..none of this really makes anything better with the software on the device itself..which is what they really need to do..increase features in the software on the device.
Two cents..thanks for the post link..
Once again...
An update from the Mobile and Embedded Devices Team: The Windows Mobile Device Center (WMDC) Application is an independent application apart from Windows Vista. Windows Vista RC1 includes the WMDC driver which enables you to sync music, acquire pictures and browse the contents of your device. The full WMDC application enables you to synchronize email, contacts, calendar appointments and more. The RC version of WMDC for Vista RC1 will ship very soon, while at this time WMDC is only available for Vista Beta 2.
rite now
im just installing it... cant wait to use

This was added in ActiveSync 4.2 at least. I recently added a bunch of photos to my contacts in Outlook 2003 and they transferred to my contacts on my Cingular 8125 on the next sync.... Not really a big deal, but just wanted to set the record straight.
Have they re-enabled the ability to sync Outlook contact categories in this release? Hope so!!

Once Again...RC1 has been out awhile now...and it doesn't have WMDC....I have it installed, and you have no options to sync anything like the current ActiveSync...my point is valid.
So, they still haven't brought back Wi-Fi sync? IIRC ActiveSync 3 had it but when I was using version 3 I had a Motorola Mpx220 without Wi-Fi but when I got my Wizard that actually had Wi-Fi I had to upgrade to AS 4.1 and lost my ability to sync with Wi-FI >_< </rant> Oh well, I'll try this out and see if it works for me.
Also, I must agree that AS 4.2 photo synced with my copy of Outlook 2003 just fine ^_^
EDIT: I wish that I read the download page before I ranted. At least they tell us WHY they dropped Wi-Fi Sync ^_^
• Remote PC Sync (via WiFi or LAN) has been removed due to Enterprise customer feedback around security issues.

Firstly, RC1 has not "been out for a while now". Secondly, if you read my post or did any research you would see that WMDC is simply not available at this point therefore your point is not valid.

Looks very nice.
I'm a noob and this is my first post so please be gentle with critique. I could not find a similar post so I thought I'd offer this up for communal use.
I have been evaluating the URGE subscription music to go service over the past week and kept running into an error during the sync process to my device (error code in the subject line). The track downloads fine, plays fine on the desktop but fails to sync to the device citing the aforementioned error.
I found a solution to the issue although I would not call it a final solution. I'm posting it here so that if anyone else is having this issue they can find a solution on the net via this forum and/or Google.
I found that if I Sign-Out of URGE after downloading the track (w/ proper sync rights) then queue the desired track(s) for sync then "Start Sync" the tracks will sync to the device.
Something about being Signed-In prevents the sync. I do not know why.
Syncing From:
* Custom Built PC
* Win XP SP2 (32 bit)
* Windows Media Player 11.0.5721.5145
* URGE 1.1.9060.0
Syncing To:
* Cingular 8525 (aka HTC Hermes, AT&T 8525)
* Windows Mobile 6 (Black Shadow IV)
* Storage Card (Sandisk 512 MB)
Hey,
How to synchronize my Charmers entries (phonebook, calender) with my Ubuntusystem?
I tried several ways like multi/opensync with USB or Bluetooth, but nothing works. Is where any way to get a synchronization between my Computer and MDA to work?

Ps.: Excuse my bad english skills. i will work on it.
from the offsite :
MultiSync is a free modular program to synchronize calendars, addressbooks and other PIM data between programs on your computer and other computers, mobile devices, PDAs or cell phones. MultiSync works on any Gnome platform, such as Linux.
Currently MultiSync has plugins for
* Ximian Evolution synchronization, supporting calendar, ToDos and contacts. Multisync also support Evolution 2
* IrMC Mobile Client synchronization (supported by e.g. SonyEricsson T68i/T610/Z600, Siemens S55 phones etc.) via Bluetooth or IR on Linux, or cable connection.
* Windows CE / Pocket PC synchronization. This plugin is part of the SynCE project, and can be downloaded there.
* Opie and Zaurus synchronization.
* SyncML support (supported by e.g. SonyEricsson P800/P900 and many other phones and devices, for example the SyncML server Sync4j). SyncML also allows you to do remote connection of two MultiSync programs via an encrypted connection over the net.
* Palm synchronization.
* LDAP synchronization.
* Backup of your PIM data.

Hi all,
My spv screen has corrupted, and I desperately need to get one of the contacts of the device. I tried syncing with outlook contacts but activesync is complaining about my profile being wrong / password protected.
I can explore the device using activesync, can anyone help me get my contacts off the device please?
Thanks
Scott
The fact AS works means that any PC based utility will let you connect and extract all the data you need.
i am using Jeyo Mobile Companion to manage my Trinity. The fact it comes with a 15 day free trial should give you enough time to extract all you need.

check it out in htc.com
i got a bunch of error messages for the htc sync driver due to being on 64-bit but the program installed fine anyways. strange.
Still no network sharing though!!! Unlike other HTC Sense devices there is not a Network Sharing option to enable on the phone. Looks like TMO had HTC remove it from the final release. Hopefully TMO doesn't have it removed out of 2.2 when it comes to the phone. All the more reason for root.
