BCM Contacts And Synching With PDA

I'm astonished that MS didn't provide a way for BCM contacts to be easily
synched with a PDA. Seems like an incredibly bonehead move. Ok.....I feel
better now.....now on with dealing with it...... Suggestions/comments
appreciated.

My thought is to put all contacts into BCM and then periodically copy all
contacts into the Contacts folder, then, synch with my PocketPC. I'd treat
my BCM contacts as the master, and whenever I wanted a current copy to the
PDA repeat the process. It appears that distribution lists can't be kept in
BCM. So I'd make a Contacts sub-folder just for distribution lists. I
don't need dist lists synched with the PDA.

Any comments/problems with this plan? Anyone actually gotten any of the 3rd
party multi-folder synch utilities to resolve this problem? Or does anyone
know if the Outlook 2002 add-in works wtih Outlook 2003?

Thanks.

Jim
 
I use a palm based PDA but I think the process is the
same. I upgrade the included Pocket Mirror which allows
you to change the root location of the main folder. I am
now syncing successfully between BCM and the Palm. Hope
this helps.
