OK I have set the preferences to Sync all elements (2 calendars and 2  
contactlists).  The items still dont show up on the phone although  
sync takes 5+minutes and the phone is busy syncing while this completes.

Is there any ways to obfuscate the AS log file??  Handing over the log  
is like handing over my calendar and contact list... :)
