After upgrading to v1.2 (v1.2.0.325, in fact) of SyncMate, my Vario II (Windows Mobile 5 phone) decided it no longer wanted to talk to my Mac. Either of my Macs, in fact. I kept getting the message “Can’t start driver, error 2”.
The “fix” suggested (deleting some files on the Vario II, reinstalling the driver, etc. – see thread here) then prevented the Vario II from talking to ActiveSync on my PC at work too.
An uninstall of v1.2 on my Macs, a hard reset of my Vario II, a reboot of the Macs followed by a reinstall of v1.1.0.316 of SyncMate (and another reboot) and finally reconnecting my phone up to install the driver on it (and then rebooting the phone again) finally sorted it.

I purchased SyncMate in hopes to replace Missingsync. But I found it to be very buggy and bottom line it just didn’t work. Some things did do ok, but the main thing is that it just didn’t Sync! The worst part about it is the support. They’re support is in Germany and trying to get to speak someone unless its 3am is impossible. When I finally did get somebody at 3am, I got simple pat responses that lead me to more disappointment and frustration. After several months of trying (yea I know) I finally gave up and asked them for a refund, they’re response was…”it works for me”. Save your money and use Missing Sync.
