Yes it still should sync without a SIM..maybe you are having a problem with ActiveSync..try to use USBSwitch/USBKiller, install then switch to Serial..

Or try to check if USB is allowed to connect to ActiveSync on its options

ActiveSync - File - Connection Settings

alright ill give it a shot when I get home and then report back.

This phone cost me around 130$ and UPS charged me 57$ on delivery!!!!! :mad:
I guess when ordering ebay never choose UPS shipping and always mark as gift right..., best to go with private sales and ask them to mark as gift .The phone also came back full of scratches and dings!!! (not as listed). I really hope this usb killer app will work (still uses usb cable right?) or else ill be out money

Also try temporarily shutting off firewall/antivirus applications, Norton in particular takes a lot of adjustment to allow activesync to work.

Why the $57? Customs? Where did it come from; where was it going to?

Well, first thing I would try is another USB Cable. Second, if you have a modern laptop with BlueTooth, try active sync via blue tooth. If that works, you know its not an Active Sync problem and its a hardware problem. Either cable or phone's usb.
