Review: Missing Sync for Windows Mobile is a nightmare

Ever since I got my MDA about a year ago, I’ve been wrestling with Missing Sync for Windows Mobile, trying to get it to syncronize data with my mac. I’ve had so many problems, I figured it was time to blog about it.

Do not buy this software. It has given me nothing but grief. I have followed the documentation to the word, and use it only for address book syncronization. Even for that, I find that I have to reestablish my BlueTooth device pairings almost every time I synchronize my address book!

All of the “solutions” offered in the support/troubleshooting documentation involve reinstalling software, soft resetting the phone, and other start-from-scratch procedures which I do not find acceptable!

Furthermore, the software provides no way to upgrade the phone’s system software. This must be done using a computer running Windows!

Unless someone comes out with some truly impressive software, this is the last time I’ll buy a device that is not directly supported by my operating system.
