After syncing the Dash with my desktop Outlook I was surprised to see that the Notes field does not exist in the Mobile Contacts.
As well I noticed that the notes in Calendar and Tasks sync only one way - mobile to desktop. Quite an inconvenience.
Is it the MS Mobile Smartphone OS or the Dash problem?

Works fine for me -- notes in contacts, tasks, and calendar... Something related to your setup -- no idea what though.

I had the same problem with Cingular Blackjack. The problem is with ActiveSync. Use Activesync 4.1. Microsoft activesync has a bug in higher versions of activesync. I recommend 4.1 (Build 4841)

I've seen several complaints that AS 4.5Beta deletes notes from Appointments and Contacts, is that what you're using? Apparently AS 4.2 is fine. Upgrading to AS 4.5 also wipes all your partnerships without warning. Typical MS quality!
