Summary: You'll either love it or hate it
Review: This is the type of software that you either love or hate - as you can tell by the other reviewer's ratings. If you simply want to sync your phone with MS Outlook (which makes entering contact information a breaze), this product is for you. If you are a person trying to sync "popular Personal Information Management (PIM) software" (direct quote from package) with your phone, it doesn't appear to be possible, so don't waste your time or money.

I bought this product to keep my v60 phone in sync with my Palm software. Basically, I'm screwed. I've been trying (on and off) for the last 3 months to find a way to download a Palm sync application. The package says that "additional PIM application support available via online product updates." THEIR ARE NO ADDITIONAL PIM APPLICATIONS AVAILABLE! Don't be mislead.

If you want to do anything besides sync with Outlook, this product isn't worth its shipping cost.

Summary: Doesn't work for all phones as advertised
Review: This is the worst product I've ever seen. I have a V120t and the software doesn't allow me to synchronize the calendar, just the contacts...I even went to the Motorola dealers and they told me to wait until a new upgrade is posted. Why do they sell it as compatible with all those phones?? They charge for this thing and for the software, with Nokia you simply download the software for free and transfer the data with the IR port.

Summary: Bad Software, Bad to NO Instructions, S-L-O-W
Review: This software is not worth the money. The paper instructions are WORTHLESS!!! Installed on Win2K and had to select a "port" phone was connected to - I have the USB model but USB was not a choice. Only COM ports. Finally found burried in some on-line piece a "note" to select a com port even if you have the USB model.

Finally after getting a connection to the phone and setting up a phone book (no calendar) it took 24 MINUTES to "SYNC" 83 names and phone numbers. Come on, I could have hand punched them in in that time.

I tried to find out the format for entering phone numbers. Didn't find a thing so I entered them as ###-###-####. After the first sync all the numbers were changed to ##########. This is in the desktop where the change was made, not the phone. I can accept it in the phone but "Why change the desktop?" Ever tried to read a 10 digit number straight. I can't.

The terminolgy used is difficult to understand, the errors flashed on screen when you try to do something don't make any sense and at one point it kept telling me to close the phone book I was using but the close menu pick was grayed out. Go figure. At that point I was ready to give up.

Bottom line, this software is a bunch of ____ and I'm going to try to return it. I talked to Motorola before I got it and they cautioned me about not buying it directly from Motorola at a higher price. They asked if [company] was going to support the product? My question back to them was "Why should it need any support?" Now I see why they said that.

I have been at this for about 5 hours and finally have my 83 names and numbers in the phone. Each "sync" was over 20 minutes. And they charge money for this product, I call it Garbage!

Don't buy this product unless you have v-e-r-y l-o-w blood pressure and a lot of time on your hands.

The one good point is it's a perfect example of how NOT to do a piece of user software.

Summary: Decent, but pretty buggy and slow
Review: TruSynch is a decent tool for snchronizing your mobile phone with your outlook, but, it's pretty darn slow and buggy; even after the latest update.

Two issues you should know before buying. First, TruSnych does not have a function to disable at windows startup. It gets really annoying seeing something in your systray that you rarely use. Second, data transfer from your computer to your phone is really, really slow and pretty much jacks up your computer afterwards. After synchronizing my outlook with the phone, I was unable to use my keyboard and had to restart the computer. Why is this? Because the makers of TruSynch really missed alot of bugs during their beta testing. Simple as that.
