Ian Leader: DataViz, recently brought out version 4.0 of RoadSync, their MS Exchange client for several Smartphones (but with an emphasis on the S60 platform used by Nokia and others). I used version 3 on an Nokia E51 against Exchange 2003 for most of last year, and was fairly happy with. When I looked at the new feature list for version 4, my first reaction was that there wasn’t much reason to buy the upgrade, as most of the enhancements were only supported on Exchange 2007.
However, there are three good reasons for Exchange 2003 users to shell out the 29.95 USD for the new version, namely:
- It’s easier to change connections – this is now a menu item under options->settings. Useful if you want to save money by switching to a WiFi connection when you’re at home / in the office.
- It supports task synchronisation – no need to run Mail4Exchange as well, just to do this.
- It syncs the body / description of calendar items – this alone is worth the money, as we often put con-call dialin details in the body of calendar items – no more desperate texting to my colleagues to get the number at the last minute!
- The meeting description / body is now synchronised
- Tasks are now synchronised
- The ‘Change Connection’ menu item is now more easily accessible.
