It syncs with loads of other phones that previously could not sync with the Live services, that is new to me. Also, Activesync or WMDC can't natively sync to Live.com, can it? Phone Data Manager synced my Nokia phone effortlessly to Live.com, and did it more reliably than anything I've ever seen from WMDC (which IMHO is a piece of crap).
