Activesync 4.1 seems to work ok on my smartphone and PDA's on 64 bit (havent booted into it for a while mind)

Its also listed as a supported OS on the activesync download site...

Kewl....:tu: :) ......thats also what Dells indian tech support said :erm: :D
I'm considering the Dell axim X51v as it's got a good processor and a big screen. Shame it's only got 802.11b wifi but I suppose you can't have everything in one package.....what do you think?
