I do not want to sound harsh, but I do not think that it is soooo important to have a special desktop software (regardless of the running OS) for a phone. I do not want to say that it is useless at all, but I think you overestimate the user base of such applications. In my circle of friends, not even the PC related sync their private mobile with their PCs. Only those using their mobile for business do syncing on a regular base (but they have several hundreds of customer numbers to carry). Of course all the PC geeks of my friends use their mobile in conjunction with their laptops, but this is, if one would count them, a small minority. Everyone else uses only the applications on the mobile and nothing else. Maybe they download some ringtones or some games, but syncing the phone is only relevant when they switch their provider/mobile. So to me it seems as if it would be a lot more important to get some really smart applications running on the mobile. The most important part, from my point of view, which has to be ready for the launch of the gta02, is an extremely easy to use update mechanism working in EVERY environment (regardless of OS). That is because the most relevant difference of the Neo 1973 to all the other phones is its openness and therefore the possibility to extend the installed base of applications to whatever one likes to have on its phone.
Just my two cents. Regards
