I currently can sync my Samsung BJ to entourage no problem on my home mac mini. However, my travel and work laptop is a thinkpad running Activesync. The issue I have found is that the contacts will sync to outlook, but not the calendars. I have no error message and nothing acts weird, but nothing on my BJ calendar will transcribe to the Outlook calendar. Bummer.

The latest upgrade with entourage allows you to sync with iCal. So in a round-a-bout way you have the same one-way sync. I have a Q and it's gotta be the hardest phone to sync with a mac. I use missingsync to sync entourage with my phone (it also syncs ical). There have been updates and YES NOW you can sync with entourage and windows mobile!!!
