based on other folks descriptions, it doesn't sound like either 3rd party activesync client really works 'smoothly' enough (for me). additionally, neither product totally implements activesync (ie, neither can browse the Exchange GAL). believe me, i wish they did. i really, REALLY want the phone, but i NEED fully functional activesync integration. me == sad

This may have been true at the time of this post. But, for anyone stumbling across this thread, more recently (as I did)...
I have used Touchdown for quite some time and it currently supports Exchange access via Exchange 2003 or 2007 (natively) or via ActiveSync (including Push).
I can browse the GAL and sync my contacts with no issue. If I add an entry as a contact, in Outlook, it will be synced to my phone along with the rest of my contacts. And, Touchdown tags the contacts with a special tag, so that they can be cleanly removed and don't get lost among my other contacts on my phone and on my Google account.
Touchdown also supports Wiping of corporate data (the data from Exchange), including the corporate data on the SD card (configurable) via ActiveSync. What's more, the user can optionally configure a special kill code that can be emailed to their account so that the Remote Wipe can be initiated by the user.
Touchdown also supports the deployment of security policies (a topic mentioned earlier in this thread). My company currently enforces password and PIN restrictions via security policies, which TouchDown has enforced on me.
I have no vested interest in TouchDown, except that I appreciate their responsive support and ongoing development, so I am glad to encourage more users to try their product.
