Using the Business Contact Manager for Outlook 2003,
Businsess Contacts do not syncronize to the Pocket PC
Outlook. Is there a way to do this?

Also, does anyone know what the upcoming release schedule
is for this. It has potential, but lots of limitations at
this point.

It doesn't do it, but the leading 3rd party synch programs e.g.
Intellisync, Chapura, etc. either already have it or will have it shortly.

Microsoft really dropped the ball by having 2 products
that SHOULD work together and DONT. I'm sorry I bought
Outlook 2003. I'll keep the old version so I can sync
with my PPC for now.

You don't have to use Business Contact Manager ... in fact I recommend
you not use it because you need the sync capability. Outlook 2003 and
BCM are two separate products (even though when installed they look to
be one and the same and will interact). Don't avoid Outlook 2003 for
this reason.
