Re: can't sync with Tungsten T2

I've heard lots of people say that the cables cause problems. I don't 
think it's the physical cable that causes the issue, but syncing over 
usb that is unreliable. I know I can't get my Treo 680 to sync via the 
cable (or at best it's very intermittent) but it works over bluetooth 
pretty reliably (bar the timezone issue!).

Can you try a sync via bluetooth? Or over the network somehow? You might 
have more luck. I've no idea what causes the issues over the cable, but 
others on the list will know more than me.

Cheers - Callum.
