Shortage of syncing solutions

I’ve been looking for a little while for a good way to sync my Mac with my Windows Mobile based phone, but as far as I can tell there are only two options for bridging the gap between the two: Missing Sync for Windows Mobile and PocketMac.

The problem is that I used the full 15 days trial of the Missing Sync but without realizing I had an outdated version (2.5), and it had a bunch of errors. My guess is that the problems showed up because I’m using Windows Mobile 5 and the older version didn’t really support it, but that’s just my guess at this point, and it’s not worth $40 to try the real program since my trial has expired.

PocketMac, however, is cheaper to begin with AND offers an educational discount, but does not provide a trial version. Also, they say they don’t support Windows Mobile 5 yet. So bleh.

My options are between broken and probably useless. Hasn’t someone else made a program to sync Address Book with Windows Mobile??
