A successful upgrade...

So last night I made the upgrade to Windows Mobile 6.1 aka WinMo 6.1. It was successful overall but was it worth the effort? Yes.

However, I'm still pissed that Microsoft will only let ActiveSync sync with Outlook and not any other program, like Windows Mail or Thunderbird. So to save my phonebook, I had to save it all to the SIM card, which loses information like snail mail and email addresses. I know I should have used RescoBackup (which I think came with the phone), but I don't have that damn CD with me. I also used Funambol and Seven to backup my contacts, but all that did was make multiple entries for the same contact. Seven by the way is an awesome program, when it's working. If you ever need to check any email inbox on the planet (almost) you can use Seven's service to sync your inbox with your phone. It took some time to update my Gmail inbox with Seven but it worked by the morning. I think Funambol provides the same service, but I don't think it's quite the same.

Well, the phone still works and it's in better shape than before.
