Hey gang,
I just got the Cingular 2125 (Smartphone 5.0) with ActiveSync 4.1
Sync with Outlook works for Contacts, but I can't filter out certain contact
categories from the sync process.
The way it should work is by clicking on the item in ActiveSync (ie.
Calendar or Contacts or Tasks) and click the "Settings" button to choose
which Categories you want to sync. However, in 4.1, the Contacts - Settings
option is greyed out.

This worked with my previous phone (Audiovox SMT5600 & ActiveSync 3.8).
I have hundreds of Contacts in Outlook & don't want all of them on the phone.

Thanks,
Jack

As far as I know (in that I've read it in a few places) that is just the way
it is!! Its a WM5.0 thing and not an AS thing, if you use you SMT5600 with
AS 4.1 you should still have the ability to filter contacts but 5.0 will
not.

stupid I know!!
