I hate ActiveSync! What a total piece of crap. Totally unusable. A long time ago, I decided to use BlueTooth to sync my smartphone. After a few hours wasted trying to set it up according to Microsoft's instructions, I google'd my problem and found a pdf guide someone had written about the process. It's like 10 pages long, with screen shots and very detailed instructions and highly unintuitive steps. There are more "advanced" and "option" menus than you'd think. But I finally had it working!

Then I shipped my computer off to Pgh. When I got here, the first thing I did was set up my USB wireless adaptor, which totally FRAKED UP my bluetooth! Both USB adaptors are IOGear and somewhere along the way I lost the proper COM port for my phone. But of course now that I've had bluetooth set up, it's impossible to sync with the regular USB adaptor, so there's no way for me to sync my phone. [EXPLETIVE]

So now I think I'm going to have to reset my phone, and reinstall ActiveSync.

Oh, and another problem with ActiveSync was it's complete inability to allow my phone to sync with 2 computers. After I set it up to sync with my lab computer, I noticed that all my appointments/events were off by an hour. The time was set correctly on all 3 devices, but that didn't matter apparently.

Total piece of crap!!!

It feels good to get these things off your chest.
