A lot of the problems we had stemmed from the third-party interface  
plonked on the top, once I removed that it was quite stable. They would  
occasionally refuse to link to the computer unless you restarted the  
phone, but I've had the same problem with the NokiaOS.

I'm still impressed that if you made a change in Outlook while the phone  
was connected it would automatically sync that item and was quite happy  
syncing between multiple unconnected computers; something that both the  
Nokia and Sony Ericsson phones still don't do or have problems with.
