synced?

I have come up with a solution / work-around that has been working for me for
a couple years. I use Microsoft Outlook PCS (Personal Contact Synchronizer
1.2). You install this Outlook add-on and mark your contact folders as
included in the Outlook PCS sync. Here is the overview from Microsoft's
download page:

Overview
The Microsoft Outlook® Add-in: Pocket Contact Synchronizer version 1.2 (PCS)
helps you synchronize contacts with devices such as your Microsoft Windows®
CE or Pocket PC device.

From any contact folder you specify, this add-in moves contacts easily to
the device you want. For example, you can synchronize a public folder that
contains team contacts. Using the Outlook PCS, you can synchronize as many
contact folders as you want.

How Outlook PCS works

The Outlook Pocket Contact Synchronizer does not synchronize contacts
directly to a device. First, it copies contacts from the folders you specify
into your default contacts folder in Outlook. This is a one-way
synchronization, and a duplicate set of contacts is created.

When you click the Outlook PCS button to synchronize, the items in your
default folder are then cross-checked with your contacts back in the
specified folder. The next time you use Microsoft ActiveSync® 3.0 or later,
your new contact data will appear on your Windows CE or Pocket PC device.

You can synchronize as many folders as you like, and Outlook PCS will do all
the work for you.

Notes
Outlook PCS does not modify any of the items that you place in the default
contacts folder.
Outlook PCS also does not modify any of the actual items in the folders you
specify to be synchronized.
Outlook PCS inserts the original folder name in the Categories field of the
new items so you can sort or group by the items in Outlook. This lets you
filter the items in Pocket Outlook once they are synchronized to your Pocket
PC or Windows CE device.
You don't need to run ActiveSync after running Outlook PCS — you can see if
Outlook PCS worked correctly by checking your default contacts folder for new
items synchronized from your specified folder(s). Each synchronized contact
should also have the name of the original folder as a category for that item
as well.
