Bookmarks... it is so very painful to have to retype out my web addresses using my SPV M3100's "touchscreen" so the ability to sync bookmarks would save me a lot of time. I'm sure there's an app to do it but I don't want 10 different applications when Syncmate does it all in one!

The feature I like the most is folder synchronization. It is awesome to have folders that  sync to my Windows Mobile phone as if it was music syncronizing to an iPod (well, maybe not that good, but is great anyway...)

Managing files on the phone is the only really important feature the iPhone lacks. However, everybody knows how complicated Windows Mobile can turn to be. Help is always appreciated and when it comes in the form of great software it's even better.

I always dreamt of the day when my Mac stopped harasing my WM phone and they became friends. Such day has come...

I just hope that the next version of SyncMate allows me to download apps from the AppStore...

Hey there, I'm using free version of SyncMate on my mac. Expert Edition of SyncMate offers support for folder synchronization, which is very useful. I have some files on my mobile, like my password database, and It would be nice to sync easily them every time my mobile is connected.

The best feature for me is so basic: Simply syncing contacts across my Windows Mobile phone and my Mac.

Hello,
The best feature, I think that the syncroniztion of photos and directories is very important, because with the free version, it goes very slowly to upload a file. But with the expert edition, I think (and I'm sure), that they perform it to goes quickly.

Well, I love my Nokia E51 phone, but there is no such thing as "Nokia Mac Suite"...so, it would be great to have such app that can connect and handle my phone. There are some apps for Nokia phones, but there are mostly useless and have no such great features as SMS manager, and it's was faster to type an SMS with a proper kayboard then on the device! ;)

So I would love to get my hands on an Expert version of SyncMate! :)

The folder sync option seems very useful! I have many things I need to sync, including school files, videos, and passwords, and this would make it a lot easier!

I like the feature of notes synchronization. I’m always taking notes on my pocket pc  and having to either use the office or my family PC to sync my notes and edit them on the same PC as to oppose to syncing them straight to my MacBook Pro. This note syncing feature is one of the single most awesome features a sync tool can have because it save the trouble of using other sync feature to accomplish the same task and having a Note synchronization makes it quicker and easier to sync all my notes to one place.

Well the best thing about Syncmate is that I don't have to ask myself what the best thing is.
It does it all and it simply works, that's how it's meant to be... on a Mac!

Since owning my HP iPAQ, I've had issues syncing some of the "extra" features to my mac. Contacts, ical and mail synchronization are easily the most important, but those can be synced through the mail server. I'm very interested in some of smaller features in Syncmate Expert, notably: bookmarks, folder and notes synchronization, SMS manager and reader, Device info, actions log and Call History. Those small features would enable me to track my usage better, remove unnecessary steps that I currently repeat on a daily basis, and allow me to access data that I would otherwise have no way of touching without a PC. The interface looks clean and intuitive, and should allow me that extra little bit of connectivity that I would otherwise have to give up when connecting to a mac. Nice work!

Syncing the contacts would be fantastic!

Its funny that i read about this giveaway right after i just watched the WWDC 09 keynote conference from apple, because its good to know that even though we don't have an iphone, some developers still care about us W-Mobile/Mac users,  cause its really frustrating having this No-Sync-problem.

"managing SMS right from Mac computer. Sending, receiving, creating and deleting SMS when working at Mac became possible with SyncMate Expert Edition"

... that's just plain and simply awesome!

The two features that I think are the best are the iCal & ToDo lists synchronization.  I have been using Windows Mobile for a few years now, and it is my lifeline when it comes to reminding myself of what needs to get done, or who's birthday is coming up.  As for Windows as an OS, forget it.  I LOVE MAC, and I will never go back.  I would like to purchase an iPhone, but I do not want to leave Sprint as I have a long-standing relationship with them (and quite a few discounts for doing do).  That being said, SyncMate provides the bridge fo the gap between te two turfs.  It's been quite a while since I was able to find a program that would do this, and to add to it ToDo list & iCal capabilities means that I no longer need to use my PC desktop just to be able to sync all this information via MobileMe.  Now I can be completely Mac, and I LOVE IT.

The think I like more about SyncMate is its ability to synchronize the folders, I have a hard time doing that quite often. I also like the iPhoto synchronization. The SMS plugin is quite a help when you are working on the mac and you don't have your phone near you(or for those lazy guys that just don't want to get up the chair) the capabilities of the SMS manager in the expert edition(create, send, delete) are even more helpful.
