I've switched to Nexus S from a blackberry as work has now enabled active sync.
And I have to say I really like it.
The stock business apps really work for me (email, calendar and contacts) but I think Google need to sort out the addons for them so users can get more overview on their work stuff.
I looked high up and low down for either a widget app or a popup app that talks to the stock email. I saw a few that work with K9 email or Enhanced email or if your phone is rooted but Im happy with the stock apps and dont want to add in others.
Ideally there should be a common widget or popup built in that shows missed calls / Emails / meetings etc in one place. Its a joke having to swipe down the taskbar to see anything.
In general exchange supported addons / wigets or popups are very scarce in the market. We have 50 Blackberrys in the company and with the cost factor Id recommend users to go for android except for the poor support for exchange adons.
But on the other hand maybe we need more weather apps. Im just not happy with the 4000 (LOL) that are in the market but not one exchange integrated notification app. For me this isnt an app developer issue its a google / android issue if they want to get some of that blackberry / enterprise market.
Something like Executive Assistant that works with Exchange in the stock email would be great.
And also better support for the exchange global address book would be nice too.
And finally a method of getting rid of having to update email password on device when my network password changes. (or at least get some notification on the phone.)
