I just switched from an SM5600 with WM2003 to the DASH. Great smartphone, but for some reason, when I'm synchronizing w/ outlook, I can't filter out certain contact catagories as I can with the SMt5600. So, I now have 1000s of contacts on my phone which I don't want :doh:

I've tried to add a filter to my Outlook 2003 contacts folder on my PC, but the "Synchronization" tab is not there.

has anybody else noticed this?

Any info would be much appreciated

Yup, that feature was removed. Wish I could understand why. :?

In order to get around this, you can create a sub folder and copy all the contacts you don't want to sync with the device, into this folder. Only contacts in the root of contacts section will be sync'ed.
