For reasons I won't get into here, MS doesn't support syncing/editing
contacts with anything except Outlook! ;-)
As an alternative, you could setup a free Exchange account at
www.mail2web.com, that will sync your contacts (and calendar) with
mail2web's servers. Then you can access them in your laptop's browser using
Outlook Web Access (essentially a browser-based version of Outlook that
doesn't install on your PC. This will allow editing them on the PC, but
they'll be stored only on your PPC and mail2web's server. As a bonus, this
gives you a built-in "cloud" backup of your data- should you need to hard
reset (erase) the Mogul (i.e. to update it's firmware), you simply need to
reenter the Exchange settings and your contacts and calendar will download
to the Mogul. This also allows accessing them from any internet-connected
PC anywhere, if needed, not just your laptop.
