Synching using Categories Rob Coogee 05-30-2005

I have just purchased an imate SP3i.

It's great except when I try to set up synching Contacts by Category.

I use categories extensively. I also have about 1,000 contacts. I only
want about 150 on my smartphone. I have created a catgory called Mobile.
However it synchs to all Contacts irrespective of which category. The
following seems to happen:

1 If multiple categories it synchs them
2 Once synched, if I remove all categories - it doesn't remove that
contact from the phone
3 If I create a new contact in Outlook with no categories it doesn't
synch.
4 If I add a category to point 3 later - it does synch. Removing the
category again doensn't unsycnh.

I am using Windows XP Pro, Outlook 2003. I am on an Exchange Server but
have not yet connected the device to the server.

Hopefully there is a fix for this.
Tx
Rob
