The second phone does have a different name, my husbands.

It is two Motorola Q's.
I did start new and wiped out the partnerships...I think. What I did was go into ActiveSync on the Q and delete it. Is that what you mean?

That would be correct.

| Connie, is this right? Are both devices a Motorola Q? Not that it should matter, I'm just trying to understand the situation. |
Maybe it does matter, it is only an issue for the Q, though that would be very strange behavior.

|

So after many hours on the phone with Verizon and Motorola, it appears that Active Sync will let you sync more than one device, but they can't be the same device - eg, two Motorola Q's - even if they have different names.
The solution appears to be to use ActiveSync for one device and Verizon's Mobile Sync for the other. A bit of a pain, and I haven't quite got the email sync working right yet, but at least now I can sync the calendars.

That's really silly. ActiveSync really should allow you to do that. I cannot for the life of me understand why MS has put so little effort into making this essential utility.

That's not Active Sync. I'm able to sync 2 i-mate SP5m's without an problem. It must be something with the Q. Regardless, it's pretty sad that such a simple thing isn't possible with the Q.

Wow, that would be a huge design flaw on the part of Microsoft. I doubt it.
In the past we have at my work had couple of Pocket PCs of the same type, we have established partnership and synced. Two HP iPaq 2210s.
I am lost on this one.
