I think our only option is to send error reports everyday untill someone
listens. I have searched for a long time now and found no luck.

New information from MS:

Windows Vista Beta 2 features built-in support for Windows Mobile-powered
devices for the very first time with the new Windows Mobile Device Center.
Instead of installing ActiveSync to use our devices, our device drivers are
now part of Windows Vista. Due to this built-in functionality, installation
of ActiveSync is blocked.

Windows Mobile Device Center can perform "Guest" functionality similar to
ActiveSync, but with some new and exciting features. With Windows Mobile
Device Center, you will be able to browse your device, synchronize media
using Windows Media Player, and even play media files and view pictures and
documents directly from the device. Our devices will be able to connect with
Windows Vista via Bluetooth, USB or infrared.

An update to the Windows Mobile Device Center will be available shortly on
Windows Update. With this update, you will be able to create partnerships
and synchronize your Windows Mobile-powered device with Outlook. Stay tuned!

Thanks for this Chris... I'm another who has the same issue... I guess we
have to wait for them to roll out office sync functionality..

Well a updated loaded today with fixes for sync. It now shows your device
and lets you select what you want to sync. It will not allow you to select
Outlook stuff saying Outlook needs to setup. I can't find anywhere in
Outlook Beta 12 anything about setting up sync. Hopefully we are getting
there.

Well I'm glad I'm not the only one having a problem trying to sync my Windows
(2003 2nd edition) Mobile device with Windows Vista Beta and Outlook 12 Beta.
I am able to sync the PDA using ActiveSync 4.2 Beta and Outlook 12 Beta on a
Windows XP machine. So would seem to be a problem with the functionality of
the Windows Mobile Device Centre.

What is their definition of "An update to the Windows Mobile Device Center
will be available shortly on Windows Update." it has been weeks and they
still have not done a thing to rectify this issue.

That's great for synchronizing stuff our kids might use--pictures and
movies--but how about the applications your real purchasers really need in
order to make the money to buy your software, i.e., our outlook calendars,
contacts, e-mail, etc.? By delaying the synch update you are alienating
your early adopters. These are the very folks who would otherwise be giving
glowing recomendations to others about Vista, i.e., your best word of mouth
advertisers. Not a smart marketing move from world's best marketing company
(and occaisionally software company), Microsoft. Get a move on, Uncle Bill !

I agree that it's a shame it has been delayed - one of the reasons behind my
decision to put my main desktop machine back to Win XP.

However, while you're berating Microsoft for 'alienating early adopters',
I've got a question for you.
If they released the Sync Centre code while it was incomplete in order to
keep you happy, and it trashed your PDA and forced you to perform a cold
reset and lose all your information, would you feel more or less alienated
than you do at the moment?

I'd rather have it late and right than on time and broken.

Good points, Bob--if it was that bad, thank you for holding back the new
synch product. Didn't mean to berate you guys, only to light a fire under
you. Despite my complaining, I always keep coming back for more!

 

[Guest]

Does anybody know if they fixed it yet. I've been having the same problem and
you are right. I have waited for a month and I am ready to go back to XP - I
did not think I would ever say that!

Sometimes my PDA connects and then in a few seconds the partnership ends! Is
this fixed in the RTM - I can not seem to get a clear answer on that from the
Windows Mobility site either!!

I remember that XP Service Pack 2 had the sme type of problem and was not
really fixed until a month after all the humdrum settled down!

Has anyone seen a fix yet??? I'm using Vista Enterprise RTM and it still will
not recognize my device.

 

[Guest]

You can not sych with Outlook Beta 12 until you buy it. The update for Vista
will only appear on the Production version if it is available yet. If Vists
does work, then you must purchase Outlook 12 - synch will not work with the
Beta. That I know for sure!!!!

I'm not using any BETA whatsoever. I'm using a clean install of Vista
Enterprise and Office 2007 Professional. I did try Windows Mobile BETA 3 with
no success before I went with a clean image.
