Adding a Google Apps account to an existing Android phone

[ccrs8]

I have a personal gmail account and use it exclusively for email, calendar, tasks, and contacts. As expected, all of this is seamlessly integrated with my Android phone (LG Optimus S on Gingerbread). At 5PM tonight my company's Novell GroupWise email/calendar/contacts system will be shut down and tomorrow at 8AM I will log on to my shiny new Google Apps work account. I am more than excited about this, for obvious reasons.

However, I have spent the morning searching for definitive answers on the best way to add this new Google Apps account to my phone. Some places say that all I have to do is add a new Google account in the Settings->Accounts & sync->Add Account section and it will all work perfectly. Other places say that there are problems accessing the secondary calendars, tasks, and contacts, or (even worse in my opinion), a merging of the two accounts' data. Ideally I would be able to toggle back and forth between the two accounts in each application (gmail, calendar, contacts, tasks). Is this the expected behavior, or are there "gotchas" that I need to keep in mind?

From what I have learned from this page: What's the difference between a Google account and a Google Apps account? - Accounts Help the apps is a separate account and independent of your email account. You go to this page: https://www.google.com/a/cpanel/domain/new and sign up for the new account through your companies Domain and Then add this new account to your phone and they will not integrate or cross talk.

that is exactly what you do. it works seamlessly. i'm using to gmail accounts, and i just toggle back and forth, so you shouldn't have any problems.
