ok,
If there's a connectivity problem,there are a couple of things to verify it.First which windows are you using,if its winvista,you'll have problems,activesync doesn't work with vista,secondly its not recommended to work on vista.So get on with winXP and also get Activesync version 4.5 the latest.In activesync check the option 'allow usb connections' and in your phone goto settings---> connections and 'uncheck' 'establish all network connections' or something and then try to establish activesync connectivity.If still fails,than,
2. verify usb connectivity with pc, to do so get your phone into bootloaders mode (multicolor screen) by pressing and keep holding down the camera button and simultaneously push the Power On button,your phone will wake up and go into tricolor screen (Bootloaders mode)with ipl/spl showing in red colors.When in bootloaders,connect your phone with pc via usb cable,if a small usb appears at the bottom of the tricolor screen,then its has connectivity,but if doesn't appears,then you have a connectivity problem,so:-
a. either your usb cable is faulty,get a new usb cable and try again.
b. or usb input slot of your pc is not operating,try with a different usb input slot of your pc or even try out on an another pc.
c. Mini usb port of your phone is broken,get it repaired or replaced.

check out all these options and rectify the problem.
Cheers !
