I've had the Sprint HTC Mogul since April 2008 and I love it! However, at the end of July I upgraded to WM 6.1, using the update on the HTC site, and now I'm having problems with ActiveSync.

Bill Fisher: AT&T HTC Fuze vs. Sprint HTC Touch Pro

A Message from Your Moderator
"I think the Connection is unique: It's all about bringing together Microsoft's mobility experts—the technical people, writers, and marketing folks—with the real people behind the retail counters, on the phone, or in the field—in other words, you, the people who sell and support mobile phones, particularly Windows Mobile phones. We just didn't see anywhere on the Web that was specifically built with you in mind, to help mobile-industry professionals connect with each other, ask questions, find answers, and talk openly about what matters to them—technology, selling, customers, and the like. So: Here you go. Welcome, and stay connected!"  Bill Fisher
