Question (Clie Organizer): me a hypocrite? NO... ok, maybe...

hi all,

first of all, i have a question for all you fellow Clie owners, old and young (clie models that is ):

i've an SJ20 that came with Intellisync Lite that worked flawlessly (yes, flawlessly: a common myth associated with Intellisync) with Outlook versions prior to Outlook 2003. Recently, I purchased a TJ37 which came with an updated version of Intellisync Lite that works with Outlook 2003. However, no matter what settings I change, how many books i throw at my computer, and how many keyboards i must smash against the top of my computer monitor, Intellisync Lite refuses to keep my address book/contacts entries in proper order. I have contacts with multiple e-mail address and phone numbers that all end up in one entry. For example, Mr. Robert Smith will have phone numbers 123-456-7890 and 456-654-1234, as well as e-mail addresses rob.smith@hotmail.com and bobsmith@yahoo.com. when i sync this contact, it'll show up in the "mobile" (cell phone number) field in the PIM app as "123-456-7890 456-654-1234 rob.smith@hotmail.com bobsmith@yahoo.com", all in one line. does anyone else have this problem, or one like this? many of my contact entries have multiple phone numbers and e-mail addresses, and as you can imagine, it's a pain in the butt trying to look up numbers .

so that's my question. now it's time to raise some eyebrows around here and explain why i'm a hypocrite:
i've given up with buggy ol' Intellisync Lite and gone to Clie Organizer just to give it a try. and, the verdict is .... (drum roll)... i like it. it's nice and easy to use, seems easier to organize than the old built-in PIM apps because of colours, and syncs flawlessly with the PC conduit. however, it seems that people hate CO. i do not see why as it works fine on my TH55, and i haven't run into any problems yet. since i don't use alarms, the alarms bug freeze doesn't affect me. i remember vaguely that i said i didn't like CO some time ago... why, i don't know. i just remember saying that. maybe i thought it was too buggy on the TJ37... pretty stupid of me to say that while using CO on a non-TH55 device.

Clie Organizer is good, but it doesn't sync with Outlook, the only downside i see at this moment. I've read up on Chapura Pocket Mirror, and it looks just like Intellisync. most of my social life is held together by Outlook 2003 (yes, i'm somewhat of a nerd :cool. with your personal and/or objective opinions, would you suggest i invest in a working PIM data sync program?
