Does Android have any integration with Exchange? I use my iPhone for both personal stuff and for work. It can sync up with my email, calendar and contacts by talking to our OWA server at work. Can Android do that?
WELL you came to the right place! Im surprised no one has chimed in. OK as it sits now, no. however I am using the Rogers rom (canadian version) and it has exchange support. Its a tricky...well time consuming process to get Rogers on your G1 but is CAN be done.Does Android have any integration with Exchange? I use my iPhone for both personal stuff and for work.

Yeah I know what you mean. Well "Rogers" has this option but they are technically not using the "Google phone" the phone does not have any Google logos to speak of. Technically its the HTC dream, I say that to say, as long as your in the US and the G1 is the "with Google" phone you most likely wont see exchange. That would kinda goes against the whole Gmail, calender, wave, ect thing.That's disappointing. I've been very impressed with what I've found about Android today, but this is kind of a big deal for me. If I can't relatively easily get my work email and sync my phone calendar to my work calendar, it's pretty much a no-go on an Android phone for me. And I don't really want to mess with a kludgey hack. I want it to be integrated and to work well. It's not really something I want to spend a lot of time trying to make work. I just want it to work!
That's kind of a bummer. I was getting pretty excited about the thought of dumping my iPhone. But it's just not going to happen unless I can easily access all of my email accounts and sync to my Exchange calendar. I have two Gmail accounts, a Yahoo account, an MSN account and my work account. I need to be able to sync to my work calendar. With the iPhone, this is beyond easy. Any replacement for it will have to be able to do that, as well.
Are there mods for Exchange that will easily sync both mail and calendar?
I'm not against modding the phone, but for something like this, it should just be built into the OS.
To be fair, I don't think the iPhone had Exchange integration when it first came out, either, which is one reason so many of us here waited so long to try them out. We all had Blackberries. This is definitely a feature I have to have. There are lots of others that are just wants, but this is a definite need. I can't consider switching to an Android phone until I have this feature.
Does Android have any problem with people adding non-Gmail accounts?

1. How quick is it to receive an email? Does it arrive before, at the same time, or after your computer receives it?
2. Can you send HTML emails, or just plain text like the bberry?
3. When you send an email on the device, does that email appear in the
1. Using the native active sync client that comes with the rogers phones the email arrives seconds after it appears in my outlook mail folders. The same with calendar reminders.
2. Yes the phone supports reading html emails / replying to them.
3. Yes.
4. Don't know. Have not tried yet.
Cyrket - Exchange By TouchDown
TouchDown from Nitrodesk handles all your exchange needs. Granted, it's $20 for the Pro License but that license allows you to set up full Activesync Push capabilities with your exchange server on your G1.
It was the first program I purchased when I got my phone and I have been very impressed with it. The latest update allows for contact sync, Out of Office, and more.
You can specify which folders you want to sync; sync the calendar, contacts, and (soon) even tasks. Their website says they are currently working on the task list and should have an update soon.
