Synchronising SMS Messages between Windows Mobile 6.5 and Exchange 2010
When Exchange 2010 is released, it will include an enhanced Server ActiveSync capability that when used with a device running Windows Mobile 6.5, will include the ability to synchronise not only email, contacts, calendar entries and tasks, but also SMS test messages (http://blog.brightpointuk.co.uk/exchange-2010-features).

The message will be synced to your device's SMS Outbox and from there be sent as a text message. It will also appear in the Sent Items folder on both the device, and your Exchange mailbox.

Once sent, the message will appear in the Sent Items folder:
