Downloaded 14 day demo version from apple.com, my 2 gb microSD media card finally came in over the weekend and set up to do three separate syncs:

1. first did a sync address book and calendar....took two times to get calendar right.
2. second, iTunes - set up list titled BB8820 and moved about 1 gb of music over....flawless.
3. last - had to rip updated iPhoto v.5.0, do install and then exported (did not check off import) a few photos to media card. Again successful.

With media card still mounted on desktop, dragged over a bunch of 'ringtones' from my old Treo and yet to test them yet.

The missing sync passed all tests and I'll probably fork over $39.99 for full version


Btw, if all you want is transfer music, as long as you have adapter to mount the media card to desktop, a simple drag and drop from iTunes directly to media card will also work just fine and no need to sync with the missing sync. (same for photos, files, whatever)
