Please log in for more thread options On a standard WM6 device you would sync all categories, but you have option
to view your contacts on the device by category. So they would all be
there, you just don't have to look at them all at the same time.
It is not possible to sync by category or by folder in WM6 using the built
in methods. You did mention an application that handles one of these
scenarios, and I think there are others out there as well, but I have not
used them. I just wanted to make sure you had the information on what was
natively supported.
