LIMITATIONS ===================================================================== Synchronisation If there is more data in the PIM than allowed in the phone, the synchronisation will complete successfully, but some items are not synchronised to the phone. It is a good rule to check the number of items in the phone from time to time to make sure that there is enough space for new items to be synchronised. Under "Sync Manager -> Settings -> Conflict policy" there is an option "Use the item last modified". This option is only applicable to data types Calendar and Tasks, for data types Contacts and Notes this option will actually result in "Keep item in the PC and overwrite item in the device", since these data types does not support a last changed date. =====================================================================
