Phone - Motorola Q
PC - Vista with Office 2007

Problem - Not all of the appointments entered on the Q are properly syncing
with Outlook 2007. Some are totally missing. I can't find a rhyme or a
reason to it.

Help!

Are those appointments that are not synchronizing recurring events?
If yes, make sure that you set an end date to those events.

Nope.

Reoccuring events like birthdays that have no end are syncing fine. Just
right now I made an appointment on the Q for tomorrow, and it didn't sync.
Outlook shows a blank day.

This has happened on two different computers now. Both running Outlook
2007. I do not have two partnerships on the Q. I deleted the first
partnership when I moved it to the second computer.

I am having the same problem on an AT&T 8525 (WinMobile 5 &
ActiveSynch 4.5 / Win XP & Office 2007). Not all contacts and not all
appointments will synch. There seems to be no specific pattern. I
have tried to create new (contacts & appointments) on the device and
create new on the PC. Still no pattern.

Microsoft shows a tech note that points to security suite software
(including their own) being the culprit. I made the reccomended
adjustments to my ZoneAlarm firewall and still no effect. I even
turned off the firewall and still no effect. I then removed AS 4.5
and went back to AS 4.2, no effect.

My previous handheld was a WinCE 2003 PDA that worked fine even after
upgrading to AS 4.5 and Office 2007. My guess is that there is a
problem with Pocket Outlook. Since in 3 full days of investigating
this issue I only seen posts associated with Outlook 2007 and
WinMobile 5, it may be limited to P-Outlook in WinMobile 5 and Outlook
2007.

This presents a serious problem and may push people away from
WinMobile products if not resolved soon.

Well this really stinks. I could never do a full reset of the Q now if I
wanted to.
At least I'm not alone.

Which is one of the reasons I'm thinking about abandoning the Dash's
scheduling features, at least in Mobile 5 mode. Perhaps 6 will have
corrected the problems. Other problems are: little options for
recurring events (every other Tuesday, every fourth Wednesday, for
example), no option for "no time" (have to choose all day, which
displays all my appointments in conflict.

I'll give 6 a chance, but right now I'm not very happy with Mobile 5.

My schedule is my life. I've had to revert to a paper schedule
because I don't trust my phone. I had heard how superior the mobile
schedulers were to the Palm, but I'm seeing none of it here. I may
have to purchase a Palm with Bluetooth.
