I took a look at the data, and parsed the wbxml. It looks like  
perfectly valid active sync communications. I have no idea what issue  
the device has with this data. However, searching around I did find  
numerous complaints about MfE not working with Z-Push/Zarafa server.  
The communication code we use is ported from the Z-Push project...  
Perhaps the device doesn't implement the AS 2.5 protocol correctly, or  
maybe it expects a parameter to be sent in a different order then we  
send it.

If anyone on list is able to provide a network trace of a *successful*  
sync session with one of these devices and a true MS Exchange 2003 or  
earlier server (no ssl, of course), that would probably be a huge help.
