Marc,
My apologies for the confusion. Before you send the phones back, do give the
15 minute sync thing a try. I'm pretty sure you'll find that it works quite
well, and with all the other additional things you can do with the
Smartphone you'll be happy to ditch your Blackberries. For what it's worth,
I gave my Blackberry up about 1.5 years ago, and SP's been a fine
replacement.

Thanks for your quick response - yeah I am trying to get
this active sync to work - I have configued my exchange
2003 box and it seems to be working with the OMA - but I
think my ISA server is blocking me from doing a wireless
sync :(
Any idea if microsoft is planning on upgrading the
software on these mpx200s or are they just going to ditch
the project and worry about the mpx220?
Thanks again for your response!
Marc

OS as well as the specific utilities on mobile devices are branded &
packaged by the mobile operator, in MPx200 case, this is AT&T Wireless.
There is the "radio stack" code that is especially operator-specific.
Windows Mobile 2003 OS has been available to them for some time. It's MO's
decision to use whichever version.
Because devices must be supported by the operator, Microsoft (similarly
Motorola) is not in a position to provide patches or upgrades directly to
end-users. If you like, write to AT&T Wireless and demand Windows Mobile
2003 upgrade for your MPx200s, they are the only one who can make this
happen. Without proper testing of compatibility of various components, they
will not let you upgrade the OS and stay within support boundaries.
Hope this clarifies the mechanics a bit.
Baris.
