That particular feature was rated an "America's only" feature (based on the way data and SMS fees work in the rest of the world). And was a given a low priority. Honestly, I have NO CLUE when, if ever, it may appear again.
It's WAY down the WP vote list. That being said: go vote for it. I have. Not that the team does everything the public asks for, but they do pay close attention to those feature requests and votes. http://windowsphone.uservoice.com/forums/101801-feature-suggestions/suggestions/1549717-sync-sms-with-exchange?ref=title Regards, Michael B.

They don't have the full ActiveSync feature set, but just enough to cover what most people need. Even with the improvements in WP7.5, the iPhone and newer Android phones have more complete ActiveSync compatibility than Microsoft's own phone OS (which again, hits the highlights of what most people need). SMS sync is a feature with fairly limited support across any of the devices... Wikipedia has a good feature comparison of the different phone OS's... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_Exchange_ActiveSync_clients Joe Pochedley Network & Telecommunications Manager Fives North American Combustion, Inc. v: +1 216.206.5505 f: +1 216.641.7852 From: Sobey, Richard A [mailto:r.so...@imperial.ac.uk]<mailto:[mailto:r.so...@imperial.ac.uk]> Sent: Monday, November 21, 2011 10:51 AM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: A bit OT - ActiveSync and WinPhone 7.5 Hiya all, Sorry this is slightly off-topic but it's to do with ActiveSync, so not altogether out there :) I've got a new Windows Phone 7.5 handset and configured an Exchange account. I'm surprised by the seeming lack of ability to synchronise text messages OTA with ActiveSync. I only get options to sync email, contacts, calendar and tasks. Since you could do this with Windows Mobile 6.5, I'm shocked you can't do it in Windows Phone. Can anyone else verify my findings?
