No, it's very likely a software configuration option on your phone.

Goto: "Start | Settings | Connections | USB to PC" and clear the checkbox "Enable faster data synchronization". Don't forget to restart your phone afterwards.

Having that option "enabled" makes for faster (Explorer-like) file-transfers, but disables "ActiveSync", making the device a normal "USB storage device" without the sync extra features. Disabling the options re-enables the "ActiveSync".

HTC HD and MS Outlook Notes
Unfortunately, Notes are not available using Exchange ActiveSync, yet.

You have to tether your phone to a PC with Outlook and ActiveSync (XP) or Windows Mobile Device Center (Vista) installed.

Since mutiple ActiveSync partnerships are supported you can sync some things with Exchange and some with your PC.

If we are lucky Windows Mobile 7 and/or Exchange 2010 will make this possible.
