Publisher's Description
From Microsoft:
Microsoft ActiveSync 4.5 is the latest sync software release for Windows Mobile-based devices. ActiveSync provides a great synchronization experience with Windows-based PCs and Microsoft Outlook right out of the box. ActiveSync acts as the gateway between your Windows-based PC and Windows Mobile-based device, enabling the transfer of Outlook information, Office documents, pictures, music, videos and applications to and from your device. In addition to synchronizing with a desktop PC, ActiveSync can synchronize directly with Microsoft Exchange Server 2003 so that you can keep your e-mail, calendar data, tasks and contact information updated wirelessly when youre away from your PC. ActiveSync 4.5 supports PC sync via USB cable, Bluetooth, or infrared connection.
Version 4.5 improves issues related to setup, partnerships, and connectivity with the PC and Microsoft Exchange.
What's new in this version: Version 4.5 improves issues related to setup, partnerships, and connectivity with the PC and Microsoft Exchange.

"The best sync program I have used so far."
Version: Microsoft ActiveSync 4.5
Pros
Easy to install. The program gives easy to understand opening window that allows you to sync in either direction between cell and pc. It also gives me the option to sync with either internal or external memory. Tranfer rate is quick and easy to locate.
Cons
None so far.
Summary
Of the three different sync programs I have used over the last eight years this one is the best. I do not have to search for the memory area in the cell to add or remove information. Every thing is right in front of me when I open the program.

"It appears to do what it's supposed to."
Version: Microsoft ActiveSync 4.5
Pros
Sychs my HP Jornado just fine.
Cons
None at this time.
Summary
The program works just fine, but isn't it SAD that I had to buy a 12 y/o pocket PC, because my $350.00 2011 tablet, does not have an address book and I cannot seem to locate such a rudimentary application for that purpose.

"Weak and disappointing"
Version: Microsoft ActiveSync 4.5
Pros
Sometime allow a sync
Cons
Most of the time cannot connect, and even after reboots problem persists. Not compatible with Avira Antivirus....difficult to parametrize at least!
-
"Too unpredictable for professional use."
Version: Microsoft ActiveSync 4.5
Pros
Works well, when it works.
Cons
Incredible unreliable program.
Summary
Sometimes (sometimes!) works in an instant. However, most of the time it takes hours to connect suddenly to the desktop pc. Can waist valuable unproductive time, when trying to synchronize fast during the day.
I tried many firewall configurations, yet, this annoying, but essential program seems to have a will of its own.
Thus, i recommend to use this at the end of the working day. If lucky, it gets the job done. -
"Work around"
Version: Microsoft ActiveSync 4.5
Pros
Works well, when it works
Cons
Hangs up, takes 50% of CPU,
Summary
starts multiple killnt.exe.... go to task manager and kill them all , it will restart them but, just keep killing them till its not running at all. also keep connections disabled except while actually in use, or it won't release the port its used

"NOT working ???"
Version: Microsoft ActiveSync 4.5
Pros
no pro as it is NOT working
Cons
everything AGAINST - Microsoft is a ****** company that releases software that is not compatible with their own products
Summary
I got cellular with windows I got PC with windows i got active Sync - pity it is not doing ANYTHING apart cousing 'dangerous/serious' damage to system (blue screen- closure, etc). Now tell me - in what way an ordinary consumer, who has no doctorate in informatics can deal with microsoft products? Their help and checking for problems is useless. APART this problem with ActiveSync, I found something really 'FUNNY' - my NEW notebook with XP is NOT transmitting problems to Microsoft (of course some BUG), I'm NOT able to register windows, the operating system has inside Bluetoothe support (I used it on my old PC), but it is partially BLOCKED on the notebook, so i'm not able to use microsoft software but the third party.... REALLY the leading company of the XXIst century.... WHY this company still exists???
SIMPLY NO COMMENT.... any attempt to send ANY problem status (automatic) to microsoft....
