    I'm looking for Android users interested in the new BlackBerry

    Definitely interested. Especially if they can make the tasks, calendar, notes, contacts etc sync with Outlook via Exchange as good as a traditional BlackBerry, with a good physical keyboard and excellent battery life, combined with full Android app compatibility.

    Switching from BBerry Bold 9900: Outlook sync question

    Thanks. I see it can be used to synchronise calendar, contact and memo information from an iPhone, and I'm guessing also a PC. Can it also be used to import tasks from Outlook into an Xperia Z?
