I agree that ACT! is almost unuseable on 120/130s.
Acceptable performance on the MP2x00.. but I've still never really had
it synching very happily with it's desktop parent software.... the field
mapping is stuffed in my experience. I think new entries into ACT! sync
OK but your converted names entries throw it. On the other hand I never
really spent much time trying to tweak it.
I never use it as my Newt contact interface (preferring Address Access)
but it sits in the back of my internal store taking up space just so I
can do an unsuccessful sync... hey why I have I left it there so long?
