Title: Buggy software dooms this product...
Review: I'm returning this product after 5 days of struggling to get MS ActiveSync 4.1 to function correctly.Apparently a number of people are finding that this version of ActiveSync, which is required for new MS Windows Mobile 5 OS devices like the rx1950, can not maintain USB sync connections. Microsoft attributes this to firewall issues, despite conflicting reports from many users posting to PDA user groups [I know firewall was not the problem in my case, as well]. The other 'helpful' solution Microsoft offers for this problem is to use Bluetooth for ActiveSync. But this unit does not feature Bluetooth.One could potentially use a LAN sync through the WiFi connection this iPAQ features - - - but Microsoft disabled LAN syncronization with ActiveSync 4.1.I've owned 4 Palm OS devices - this was my first (and last) venture into Pocket PC territory. If a device can't do the basics - maintain a schedule and phone book - then I don't care how pretty it looks.
Is the review positive or negative?
