Correct - Pocketmac seems to go through every contact and appointment on
every sync, which makes for a very long and painful sync. I bought and
tested a Tungsten C yesterday (and playing with it more today!), and the
sync is very fast. In fact, I thought it was not syncing it was so fast.

If Missing Sync for Pocket PC does fast syncs, then my anticipation will
only grow.
