I would LOVE to see a poll on the front page about this subject.
As a mobile professional, I rely heavily on Microsoft Outlook and am constantly adding and looking-up data.
1) When docked, if a reminder pops up, it often vanishes
2) Completed and modified tasks don't sync reliably
3) Email often has problems syncing
4) Sometimes, reminders don't occur if my iPAQ is turned off, even if I left it on last time
CONDITIONS:
Active sync is set at it's default setting, continuous sync
Tasks are set to sync "last two weeks"
Email is at default setting with only one PC relationship
DESKTOP PC AND SOFTWARE:
PC is HP ZE4545US with Windows xp Professional, Outlook 2002, 512MB ram. Compaq cradle is the USB version that came in the iPAQ box and is direct connected to laptop USB port. Sleep and power management is disabled on laptop.
iPAQ PROGRAMS AND CONDITION:
Pocket Co-Pilot 4.5 with map on SD card
Word Logic Keyboard
Wisbar Advance
ConverterCE
Ambicom WLAN driver
The iPAQ has about 22MB free for Storage and 24MB available for Programs.
ATTEMPTED FIXES:
The operating system was re-installed in the iPAQ twice and it's ActiveSync relationship deleted twice to resolve these problems.
No software was installed untill problems showed up again.
The last thing I expected was beta quality business software after this many generations! :devilboy:
What's your experience been like so far?
