Gee that's a shame! That was one of the things I really liked about my old
Toshiba e740, I could sync it with my desktop over WiFi. I hadn't quite
gotten around to trying this with the new PPC-6700 as Exchange Server sync
does just about everything I need (EXCEPT sync Notes!). Thanks for the
heads-up and thanks for the confirmation that it will work over Bluetooth.
