[missing-sync-winmobile-talk] WM5 -- alternate solutions?

[Josh Santangelo]

While I'd love to purchase a version of TMS with WM5 support, it looks 
like we'll have to wait a bit longer. So I'm wondering what people are 
doing in the mean time to sync their WM5 handhelds with their Macs -- or 
at least back up the data on them.

I just ordered one of the new devices from T-Mobile, and am wondering 
the best way to go about it. I've gone so far as setting up Outlook 
under Virtual PC and loading my Address Book contacts into that, but now 
I'm finding that the ActiveSync installer hangs under VPC. Has anyone 
else gone this route successfully?

Other options? I'd be satisfied with just a way to transfer files and 
backup my handheld, to be honest.
