Using your Windows Mobile phone with your Mac

I have owned the Blackjack II for a little over 4 months now, and I will admit that I am relatively pleased with it although it would be nice if Windows Mobile 6.1 would be released to fix some of the quirky bugs I experience with this phone (lack of threaded text messaging, randomly losing the ability to use IE, etc). At some point in the very near future I hope to get an iPhone 3g but until all of the activation bugs get worked out and I don't have to stand in line to purchase one I guess I will stay with this device for now.

Now that I am using a Mac as my primary machine, getting the address book, email, calendar and tasks to sync can be a bit cumbersome. I am no longer using Outlook for my email (I dont like the Microsoft Outlook product for Mac called Entourage) and am now using Apple's Mail program which is simple yet very effective. The built in Mac Address Book and iCal applications are not as cleanly integrated into the Mail product as I am used to with Outlook, but still perform well for what I need. Out of the box though, no Mac is going to sync with a Windows Mobile phone.

Enter Missing Sync for Windows Mobile. This handy product will sync your Windows Mobile device to your appropriate Mac applications. Some problems can arise especially when you attempt to sync your Contacts as the default field mapping doesn't quite line up right at first and it may take some fiddling to get it work properly. It does a good job of doing a sync, tries to be very user-friendly and is definitely worthwhile if you decide to keep your Windows Mobile phone around now that you are using a MAC.
