I'll second the lack of 100% support for Exchange and Outlook. My guess is it's by far the biggest platform with millions of users using Outlook on the desktop at work and home and trying to sync to the offices Exchange server. I already have personal email and work email and there's no reason I should have to integrate through gmail. I really don't even want gmail.
And I also agree there is WAY too much focus on Facebook and Twitter. Who has time for all of this jazz anyway?!!! I can barely remember and take time enough to remember my own nieces/nephews birthdays never mind staying in touch with hundreds of people from high school.
I'm new to the smartphone world and initially thought I wanted a BB. After heading right to a new bold 9700, I knew instinctively that this was nothing but an overpriced messenger with a data plan. Yes, this particular issue, syncing to email, contacts, and calender is good...but my company is not going to pay the BES fee, so then it starts to fall short. And the rest of the BB is far inferior to other products, like the Droid Eris, that are currently on the market. BB is going down, in my opinion. Have you used the browser on even the new 9700?!
Google/Android: Give us excellent business tools, good sync, good browser, big display, and let the rest happen with apps. I don't have time for games and facebook.
Wayland, if I end up on an Eris I will look at CompanionLink. I am impressed that a company is actually looking at what users say and want. Rare these days.
