I recently purchased an ORange SPV-M3000 (better known as i-Mate K-JAM) based on WM5’s support for Bluetooth voice dialing. Unfortunately, I can’t get ActiveSync to talk to my home PC via USB, and there seems to be no possibilty to connect it to a serial interface. Since I have a WLAN at home, but no IR on my home PC I was hoping to synchronize via WLAN. My user manual indicates however that this is only possible via Exchange Server.

I’m with Jason. Why?

Have they replaced it with something better?

This is one of the huge features behind my purchasing a Dell Axim – so I can take advantage of WiFi access, VPN into our corporate server, and sync my mail.

What’s the deal here?

The lack of ActiveSync over WiFi in Windows Mobile 5.0 astounds me! Have you heard any justification for this move?

PPC version has bilateral menus, flared blue bars, and can now run Smartphone software as well.

This coverage is confusing. You mention the “PPC version” of WM5 as looking the same — yet what are these screen shots with the flared blue bars and the bilateral menus? Is this the phone version of WM5? I thought everything — PPC and phone — was going to merge in this version.
