=====================================================================
7. LIMITATIONS
=====================================================================
Synchronisation
If there is more data in the PIM than allowed in the phone, the
synchronisation will complete successfully, but some items are not
synchronised to the phone. It is a good rule to check the
number of items in the phone from time to time to make sure that
there is enough space for new items to be synchronised.
Under "Sync Manager -> Settings -> Conflict policy" there
is an option "Use the item last modified". This option is only applicable
to data types Calendar and Tasks, for data types Contacts and Notes this
option will actually result in "Keep item in the PC and overwrite item
in the device", since these data types does not support a last changed date.
