Synch Outlook with smartophone

[Guest]

I can't seem to synch my Outlook 2003 contacts & calendar with my motorola Q
smartphone. Is this a function 2003 can do, or do I have to upgrade to 07?

You need ActiveSync.

Sorry, I failed to mention that I have ActiveSynch, and it's not synching the
Outlook contacts nor calendar. It does synch Media Player music. Any ideas?

As amazing as Dr Valentine is, he is not the originator of the concept of
mutliposting=bad.
He is just recommending better netiquette.

What version of ActiveSync do you have? It should work. Have you already
looked at this article:

Use the following information if you are using a USB cable to connect
your device to the PC, and ActiveSync does not recognize the device or

conditions affecting the connection.
Ensure that the device and the PC both have USB connections enabled:
In ActiveSync on the PC, on the File menu click Connection Settings
and then select the Allow USB connections check box.
In ActiveSync on your device, click Menu > Connections and then select
the Synchronize all PCs using this connection check box.

2003 Can and does sync... There are many settings that have to be
correct. If you are using a server than you may need permission by
your company to have it on the server. If the company never has used
Windows Mobile devices than certain ports need to be established open
before it will work.

1) Are you using 2003 with a Server?
2) Are you using Gmail or Yahoo with Outlook?
3) Do you have the correct ActiveSync?
4) Did you set it up on the device or your Laptop or Desktop first?

Thanks,

Mike
