Allo,

Can anyone shed any light on the abysmally slow file transfer speed
when using active sync?
It takes about 30 mins to copy a 100MB file to an SD card on a
T-Mobile PPC-PE?

Many Thanks

This is not even phisical limitation of USB port but software limitation of
ActiveSync client in Pocket PC 2000 and Pocket PC 2002 systems. In Windows
Mobile 2003 ActiveSync runs a few times faster.

Why not get a card reader for your computer and transfer to the card using
it rather than via the ppc and activesync?

That is not normal. I can copy over 200MB from my SD card to my
desktop in a few minutes. It may be an issue with your T-Mobile XDA.
My older iPAQ was slower at huge file transfers than my newer 2215 is.
