Do You Fall Out Of Sync Regularly?
Posted by Jon Westfall in "THOUGHT" @ 07:14 PM
"Windows Mobile similarly requires ActiveSync to be running, and is a huge headache to support when synching with Exchange. Windows Mobile phones fall out of sync with Exchange regularly, forcing a full deletion of the user's calendar and email and a resync."
RoughlyDrafted.com recently published an extensive write-up arguing that the iPhone isn't as bad as some have played it to be. While reading, I found the above passage and wondered how accurate it was. The worst I've ever had to do when I "fall out of sync" was a soft reset. I believe I may have done a hard reset at 1 point in the past 5 years on a Windows Mobile machine to clear up a sync problem - and since I've owned probably 3 - 4 times as many windows mobile machines as the average joe (and used them simultaneously), I think that's pretty good. I've also experienced pretty minimal problems as an Exchange Administrator when it comes to Exchange Activesync (I wish desktop AS was just as nice...). So is this accurate? Or might the article charging many outlets with "hating apple" quite possibly be making blanket anti-Microsoft remarks?
