RoadSync Update
DataViz recently announced a free update to their Exchange ActiveSync Client - RoadSync. (We briefly covered RoadSync in this post)
The updated version contains a number of fixes, many of them for the Nseries devices:
- Attachment fix for all Nseries devices when sending pictures directly from the image gallery
- Support for sending new email messages via the green button on Eseries and Nseries devices
- Subfolders and server search fix for N95 and other S60 3.1 devices (with latest device ROM update)
- RoadSync internet connection and hanging fix for Nokia N95 and other S60 3.1 devices

I am using RoadSync for a while now, and it never let me down, its a very reliable piece of software, I had a lot of problems with Mail for Exchange and Treo’s Versa Mail, but RoadSync really seems to be the best mail client on symbian phones.

Do you know if Push email option is more economical. I am just wondering if Push email takes so many more additional connect and disconnect activities. Whereas if i use a 15 min interval to sync mails, it connects and disconnects only so many times as needed. Do you have any thoughts on that

I’m quite impressed with RoadSync and the seamless functionality with my E61. I’m almost finished with my trial and have a question that I have not yet been able to figure out. Does RoadSync have an Automatic Find feature (Hyperlink Support)? If so, how can I activate this function? This is an especially useful function for the RSS feeds.

I downloaded the file that was on the Dataviz website the day I received the email from them saying that the update was available. I installed it on my E61, but the version of the program never changed from 3.002 In addition I don’t have the benefits listed in the upgrade. I just wanted to know if anyone else experienced the same thing.

Remove 3.002 first. Then install 3.003. Viola!

Thanks Colin…it worked like a charm.

Strangely enough my dataviz support area tells me that i have to pay another 2.99 Dollar to download the update from 3.01 to 3.03 (or even to redownload 3.01). Is this normal?

Why pay for this one when Mail For Exchange is free and working perfectly ?

Ice, RoadSync has two big advantages over Mail for Exchange, you can use your Outlook Folders and you can accept or decline appointments. BUT, in every other way it is worse than Mail for Exchange, you must download an attachment before you can view it, it gets e-mail only when it is set to, you cannot sync outside of the scheduled time. The e-mail key on the e61 does not work with RoadSync and it is more difflicult to send an e-mail. Plus it does not run in the sub-background, it uses more memory and battery. I guess it all depends on how bad you want your folders and want to be able to accept appointments. I have used both but I now stick with Mail for Exchange, if I really have to accept or decline a meeting I can use Web Access on the e61 and that works fine. I think you give up too much using RoadSync and you pay $49 to do it.

I have downloaded a trial couple days ago and for some reason, I can’t open a single pdf file using pdf+. Anybody has the same problem?
Also I miss hyperlink support, anyway to fix that?

I am switching to mail for exchange back. I totally agree with keatisk, RoadSync has only two advantages: access to your folder and accept or decline appointments, besides that it is not worse it. The major thing is that you have to download pdf attachment, then save it to your memory card and then to open the downloaded file you have to go to the folder where you saved your file. With mail for exchange you just click to open the file from your mail client. And that’s it!

I am using the trailversion of roadsync. It works but i miss the option that you can see that a message has arrived. The application has this option, but on the n-series this doesn’t work (active standby screen plugin not supported on the n-series). I hope there will be a workaround for this problem in the future ( a ‘@’ on the standbye screen like “seven”)

I downloaded the trial version and have the next message when trying to install it “Certificate may not yet be valid, is expired or phone´s date setting maybe incorrect”.
Do anybodody has a suggestion?

Double check to see whether the date on your device is set correctly. If the date is off by a year the certificate might not work.

roadsync offers better connectivity on GPRS. It actually connects to the server when mail for exchange shows “please try later”. This is the only visible adv to me… but then its a huge one…!!
