Integrating BCM 2003 and Personal Contacts with WM5 Phone

[UriSchneider]

I have appreciated useful information from the group in the past...
thank you all.

1. When I use my Cingular 8125 with Pocket Informant 2007 PIM software
- my contacts and caller ID only works for my regular contacts... not
BCM contacts!

2. Additionally, within Outlook and BCM, when I move files between
regular contacts and BCM contacts, I end up creating duplicate files...
it doesn't automatically recognize the duplicates the way it does when
you save or download new contacts.

Help.

There is currently no automated solution for that that I am aware of.

Chapura Pocket Mirror Pro is sort of a solution, but it bypasses all BCM
features that are present in the BCM Mobile client.

My approach for now is to treat my contacts folder as disposable. Any new
contacts I add on my Windows Mobile device I simply copy over into my
Business Contacts, based on the "created" date. Then I delete all my
contacts in the contacts folder, and drag them over from my Business
Contacts folder. A quick ActiveSync later and I am done.

It's something I might be interested in creating a solution for if there is
enough interest.
