It is free. For wireless sync, you need to get ActiveSync 3.8, as Microsoft has disabled wireless sync in ActiveSync 4.x. It only comes with a car charge -- so a good idea to get a USB charger and/or main charger. It costs around $10-$20 from eBay. USB chargers are cheaper, but you need to have your computer on while charging. Jaxx,

Do I have to buy Windows Mobile? Does it take a proprietary (sp?) usb cable or a standard one? I have a wireless network at home, could I just sync with this?
