Hi Guido,
I am sorry I didn't get back to your response any earlier.
This is related to WM5 as the MS documentation says.
But anyway, I still tried it.
Without any luck. So now I am giving up on getting this device to work as I
want.
I thought after all those years that MS has done development that it was worth
a try. (stupid me)
I have to say I am overall disappointed about HTC and WM5. WM lacks
functionality and stability and HTC lacks some userfriendlyness.
I also want to say something positive :)
Thank you for your development, time and effort! You did a great job (together
with the people from synce).
I answer your mail because you did the effort to answer mine and I hope this
will help some people out there.
Greetings!

>One important detail btw, if you start syncing all pictures that you made
