Please log in for more thread options Currently there are no active sync settings around contacts, which is why
the button always appears greyed out when you have contacts selected. In
the mean time David's suggestion is probably your best bet. Your feedback
is definitely noted though :)
Thanks!

>> Plug your phone into your computer, open up ActiveSync, and it will sync
