Just to clarify- I'm not saying Apple is great- I'm just saying I want Android to CRUSH the competition- you can't do that unless you support your userbase the same way your competitors do. If Apple is great with Exchange support- you need to do the same. If apple provides a 1st party sync solution (I think it sucks it's $99 a year) but they do provide something they say is MADE to work with the phone product they sell- then Android needs to do the same.
I'm not crazy about how the calendar/contacts are handled differently based on the maker of the Android phone. I don't always appreciate Googles "hands off" approach to open source. They should make a consortium, conclude what are good features and roll those out with firmware- not allow the contact database to be a completely different experience with Sense vs. TouchWiz, vs. blur, vs. Vanilla/stock.
It's confusing to the "casual" user. Something you don't have to contend with on iphone or blackberry...and probably won't have to deal with on WM7 either- but we've yet to see how that will work.
