Microsoft on Wednesday announced an updated version of Windows Live for Windows Mobile, the company's client software for cell phones. But some users were still lamenting the lack of calendar syncing.

The mobile Windows Live client enables users to synchronize their Live contacts (such as those in Live Mail and Messenger) with their device, sync e-mail from Hotmail, respond to e-mails with voice recordings, and upload photos to Windows Live Spaces.

Still missing from the updated software, however, is calendar syncing. Microsoft developers confirmed it was not in the new release, but did not specify if and when it would be added.

"No calender sync? Thats a pity, how could one live without syncing our calenders!" one user wrote on the Windows Live for Windows Mobile team blog. Some users also complained about the lack of Windows Live Messenger for mobile devices, which is only available directly from some wireless carriers.

To download the new release, Windows Mobile users can simply point their browser to: wl.windowsmobile.com. Any previous versions of the software must first be uninstalled.

Microsoft is also beta testing a new mobile homepage for Windows Live, which is located at: mhome.live.com.
