Verizon Palm Treo 700W, WM 5--Missing Sync, unable to connect or sync

Is there anyone who has successfully connected and synced a Treo 700W (Windows Mobile 5) with the latest Missing Sync 2.5 from Mark Space?

I have tried all of the suggestions in the Knowledge Base on the Mark Space Website, with no luck. I have no preferance between USB and bluetooth connectivity, either one would work for me.

If anyone might have step by step instructions on how you set up the 700W and what settings to select on the Mac would be so appreciated.

Yes, last night I was able to synce my Treo 700W with Missing sync 2.5. First you need to look at your firmware on the Treo. First go to settings, then system, and go to about. In about screen go to phone and check the software version it should be Treo 700w-1.10-VZW. If it is not this version than go to markspace.com, and click on the usage note for treo 700w, which will give you link to the firmware update. Also make sure you are running 10.4.7.

After dealing with this. Open up missing sync and open up the bluetooth sync for windows mobile in the help column. Then select the windows mobile 5 for smartphone. Next turn on your bluetooth on the treo, you can do this by clicking the bluetooth icon on the today screen. I intially had a hard time connecting the two, just make sure the bluetooth is on in OS X and click discoverable. You may also want to try sending a file, cause help the treo find your mac. Then follow the steps in the help section. I recommend using something else besides 1234 like hjk. Once you pair the two, you will come to the finish screen. I was a little disappointed to find that you could not use bluetooth, and that you could only use a serial connection. But that serial connection is really USB, so it will sync very quickly within a minute or two.
Well good luck on your adventure getting the two to sync. But once you have the two pair and you are done with the pair plug in your treo to your computer and it should load up the missing sync.cab which will allow to sync the two together. It was difficult, but don't give up. It was well worth it, everything looks perfect after I synced. Leave me a reply if you still have problems.
