This makes BCM absolutly usless to me.  I live by my handheld and must keep contact information on it.  Is there a work around through another sync program.  I have been waiting for BCM for a long time and now find out I can't use it

Is there an update to the pocketPC software or is this another obvious oversite by Microsoft this just pisses people off
