When I queried such behaviour from Resco, they confirmed that SMS threading on WM 6.1 devices is not proper handling in current version.

Now, I don’t use or run Outlook or Outlook Express on my desktop WinXP. That may be a liability with Win Mobile. Still, it takes some chutzpah to *assume* that because someone is running WinMobile and using WinXP they’ll use Outlook. That may be statistically okay, but disenfranchised and annoyed minorities can be very loud, even if they aren’t necessarily right.

So, I lackadaisically went out and tried Sprite Backup. I tested the trial version and it appeared to work fine. So I bought it. A few days later, after rearranging some software on my WinMobile — notably to store things on the Storage Card rather than main memory — Sprite Backup began to fail. I contacted their support and went ’round four times with them, without progress, they suggesting “try this” and “try that”. I felt like I was doing their debugging for them, especially when they were accusing my storage card (not a cheap) of being the culprit, even if it worked fine for every other application.

I gave up on them. My time is work something, and if I need to pay another $25 to someone else, well, that’s a taxi ride to the airport.

So I’m looking at SPB now.

I’d suggest these evaluations look at some other parameters — like working with Storage Cards and whether or not Outlook is a prerequisite — rather than just superficial usage parameters. Rem, I said “just”: Those are important, but the basic question is DOES THE THING WORK UNDER ALL REASONABLE CONFIGURATIONS?

I’d recommend that you contact Resco about this. When I first reviewed Resco Backup here on My Today Screen, I had some problems with it on my Glofiish X500. I guess the reason is that not many knew they were doing a beta for it and did not test it out.

But once they found out, they were really quick to respond and in less than a week, they got back to me with a solution. On top of that, they continued to work with some other comments I made about the software and addressed them in the next release.

So if you are having some problems with Resco Backup, my advice would be to contact them directly. Hope that helps.
