iPhone sync with windows pc

[WolfByte]

Hi all again

Another problem i'm hoping someone here will have a simple solution to.

I've got a client whom currently syncs his iPhone3GS to MS Outlook 2003. The problem he's having is it goes both ways, so if he deletes a contact on his pc, the phone just puts it back. Either that or when he adds a contact to the phone or the pc, sometimes it syncs it twice and he ends up with doubles. With over a thousand odd contacts he's starting to pull his hair out at having to constantly manually delete the doubles.

I've looked around a fair bit and can't find anywhere on how to set the sync direction like you can do with most other mobile handsets. All we need is to find out if it is possible to set it to sync from phone to laptop only. Is that possible with iTunes?

Yours Faithfully

To be quite honest with you i dont know.
My contacts are synced to my gmail account because it automatically updates whether im at a pc or not (if i add a contact on my phone then it adds it on gmail immediatelyand vica versa)
I think the best option would be for your client to do the same (also good if his pc gets k.o)
Other than that i think when you first set up the sync it asks you the direction in which you would like to sync but im not sure about that one.
Good Luck
