I typically export my work contacts, calendar, etc. and import them at home. My question is can I sync with them both? I'd like to sync up at work, then take my phone home, synch there, and have that update with all the changes I made while at work. Is anyone else doing this? The versions of Outlook are the same.

You should be able to do that as you are using ActiveSync - I currently do not have a smartphone (waiting for the 220 to hit the streets) but I am a power user of the pocketpc and have been able to sync at two places - home pc and work laptop w/o issues except for one - email. You will have to determine which pc is your primary and that will be (unless it has been changed) the only email you'll be able to sync with.

I wish active sync would let you sync with multiple pc's instead of just two... After you have set yourslef up on 2 pc's you only option is guest with other pcs - i think.

good luck

Thanks for the tip. I did have a PocketPC, but had to give it up with a change in jobs. Had to give up the laptop too. I don't sync my inbox right now and don't plan to, so that should be fine. I set it up with my work PC today and once I get my extra sync cable, I'll set it up at home. I waited until Verizon got the Samsung, then made the switch.
