Activesync 4.5/Windows Mobile 6 numerous probs with HTC TyTN II



I'm using Activesync 4.5 on my Windows XP Pro SP2 PC to connect to my HTC
TyTN II Pocket PC via USB. I've found the following problems:
1. The progress bar for file transfers is useless in that it will start
creeping up as the file goes across and then jump back to the start
(possibly several times) before the file is finally fully transferred. Even
then the file may successfully end the transfer when the progress bar is
only part way across.
2. File transfer using Activesync is far slower than if I take out my phones
memory card, put it in a reader and transfer the files via the same USB
port. There seems to be an unnecessary layer of complexity slowing things
down.
3. Windows Explorer on my PC displays my Pocket PCs storage card as a folder
even though viewing the memory card in WM6 shows a nice icon signifying its
a memory card.
4. Along the same lines, Windows Explorer doesn't indicate my mobile device
has expandable folder branches with + signs in the left pane (like in other
Windows Explorer browsing). I can only expand the branches by double
clicking the folders in the right pane.
5. If I use Activesync to transfer videos across to the TyTN II, the video
is converted (taking ages) and the final quality is very poor. If I just put
the same wmv file directly on the storage card using my card reader/writer
and then update Windows Media Player Mobiles library to find it, the file
quality is fine and it plays OK.

Has anyone else experienced these problems and how do I officially notify
Microsoft so they can fix them? Is there an Activesync feedback email
address or webform? TIA

Paul
