Hm, I also read that they wrote red numbers last year. Will see how  
long we can buy Berries anymore. However, I own one and am happy with  
it. ^^

I rechecked in my Berry but there is no such Activesync option  
anywhere in the settings. As far as I know I always read that you can  
buy one. So I came to Funambol in the first step.

That matter I found http://www.astrasync.com/
Why dont you go e.g. to them and be also shown as certified groupware  
on their page? It also would be much easier for end users to find a  
fiting sync tool.

Meanwhile I will get a trial of Astrasync. Having a look into that.

Kiind regards,
Andreas
