HOT: Sony Ericsson backs Microsoft Activesync

VNUnet is carrying a story confirming Microsoft has managed to get Sony Ericsson to license the Exchange ActiveSync protocol to:

..Enable wireless synchronisation between Exchange Server 2003 and Sony Ericsson’s forthcoming P990 and M600 smartphones.

I’ve marked this as hot because getting your contacts on to a Sony is extremely annoying.  Their proprietary stuff just doesn’t work that well……… I tried it with my K700i and well, I only managed to get 700 of my 3,500 contacts on it.  That’s useless to me. REALLY useless. 

So I hope that non Exchange users such as myself will be able to use ActiveSync on a stand-alone M600 to get my contacts and calendar synched?  If not, I’ll come back and mark this blog COLD!
