[missing-sync-winmobile-talk] Missing Sync for Windows Mobile 2.0.2b2 (BETA) Version Now Available

[Ray Towry]

Ken,

Unfortunately, if you will be unable to support these types of repeating
events/occurrences, I really have no use for the program, or the Audiovox
smt5600 I just got, but am now past my 30 day return period and will be
unable to return because Mark/space didn't share that tidbit of information
with me in time.  

Have you made progress and do you have any idea on a timeline of when you
can make it official that you cannot sync properly with entourage? Or are
you willing to at least walk me through how to move everything over to ical
if ical can handle those types of events.   Otherwise, I have a new Audiovox
SMT 5600 for sale if anyone is interested.  Great phone if you use a Windows
based operating system to sync.  Best phone I have ever had, beats the crap
out of my old mpx220.

Please understand my frustration in the time and energy I have put in to
making this program useable and the effort I have put forth to help by
submitting logs, etc.  Oh ya, and I paid to work for Mark/Space...
