Then again, I haven't tried. -- Dameon" Actually, this is not about S60 v. WM but is about Activesync versus the Nokia Phone Suite. I have not synced an S60 phone... I've yet to buy either the N81 (not 8G), or the N95. But when I owned a Nokia 6131, I could sync individual folders. For a business-phone, this allows you to have a seperate personal contacts folder and a business contacts folder on Outlook. When I briefly switched to WM, I had to move my personal contacts onto another computer with a new installation of Outlook. I really don't know why Activesync does not allow this ability. On the other hand, Activesync provides one very cool feature: it acts as a reverse-modem sort off. WM phones can access the internet through Activesync. Why is that good? Well... think GoogleMaps, Mgmaps, and RSS feed programs. For an S60 phone without Wifi, you need to through on-air data to get internet data. I just received this and I’m going to reply here:

This is vital if you want to have a contacts folder for general contacts...which may have several thousand contacts...and a folder for phone-only sync. I suppose you could get over this by catagorizing every contact for phone sync or not. I don't like that method because your phone contacts -many of which may be personal - would then still be in the same folder as your business contacts.

No category syncing support in S60 for calendar, todo, and address book! This is really just plain unacceptable and vaults WinMo over S60 IMHO.

I generally don't have any Timezone issues with Mail for Exchange or recent versions of Intellisync Mobile Suite. And the E62? I'm sure if you hunt around on the Internet, you can find a way to remedy some of your issues. The Calendar largely depends on how good your sync software is, I think.

Although when I used Winmo I had the 3rd party pocket informant which made it worlds better. Papyrus seems to be an equivalent for S60 platform but I haven't purchased it due to the low ram on my Nokia E62 (Muttering crippled junk from AT&T). I think they are about equal here as well.

Windows Mobile is better at Calendar by a country mile. I wouldn't use an S60 phone as a business phone as the calendar just isn't up to the job. The biggest fustration I have is timezones, the WM device handles this really well, change timezones and it adjusts the appoitments accordingly. I tried doing the same on a Nokia and got in a right mess. You can read loads of reviews of 3rd party calendar apps for the S60 as it's pretty well known the calendar is poor. Don't get me wrong I like S60 and use one every day, but for professional level calendar management, the Windows Calendar is miles better. I think you’ve called this one wrong for the calendar.
