Getting Over Business Contacts for Pocket PC
After raking Business Contacts Mobile for Pocket PC over the coals recently, I promised to talk about my particular workaround.
After removing the BCM app from my Treo, I thought about a 3rd-party option. But I’ve had those munge my data horribly in the past.
Instead, I decided to do a fairly simple, albeit manual procedure which is not only free, but also gives me gives me both one-handed access to my Business Contacts and the ability to dial those contacts using Voice Command.

Hey there Chris,
I always enjoy checking into your site on occasion from up here in Denver, CO.
There is now great news for all of you mobile warriors such as myself who
have long lamented the lack of an easy way to synchronize your BCM Business
Contacts with your particular mobile device regardless of your mobile device
platform (WM, Palm, Blackberry, Symbian, etc.) Go to http://www.chapura.com and
check out their new “Folder Mirror” solution. This apparently graceful,
client side application maintains an ongoing, automatic, real-time synch
between all additional Outlook Calendar and Contact folders and the native
default Outlook Calendar and Contact folder which then flows through the
standard synch conduit to your device.
This will allow any platform of mobile device that already provides a synch
conduit to Outlook to be able to also synch with BCM. Because this works on
the PC client itself, it does not interfere with the particular device
manufacturer’s conduit synch software.
Chapura is top of the list in Outlook synchronization. They innovate and
their stuff actually works!

@ Tim:
3 identical responses about FolderMirror? I almost dumped them as spam, figuring you for a shill, man.
Then I found out that Chapura is based right here in Alabama. Mobile, to be exact.
That, and the fact that Folder Mirror is a decent answer for public folder sync.
