Windows Mobile devices come in many models and varieties. Each manufacturer optimizes Windows Mobile for their device. Some of these modification work better than others. Your experience may vary depending on settings available, other software on the device, and coverage offered by your provider or the data network. Windows Mobile devices that try to synchronize while not in a coverage area may "lose" their settings and need to be configured again.
Make sure your default device settings are trying to ActiveSync via the cellular/data network, not a local PC as a pass-through connection.
