Alright, let's see if anyone calls me crazy or weird for this:

I currently use two phones, my Nexus One as my primary device and my BlackBerry Bold 9700.

Here is my ideal setup for both when it comes to my company's Exchange:
Nexus One - sync of calendar and contacts (no e-mail)
BlackBerry - sync of e-mail, calendar, and contacts

I know the BB is not a problem at all. I'm very familiar with the effectiveness of being connected to BES. But what I'm wondering is if what I'm looking to do with the Nexus One is possible. I know that, for example, if I go to change the sync settings on my Gmail account, I can uncheck e-mail so that it only syncs contacts and calendar. Will I be able to do this if I connect my Nexus One to our Exchange server? Or is e-mail going to be mandatory with the sync?
 
Unfortunately, the stock ROM on the Nexus One will not allow you to setup calendar/contact only Exchange sync; email sync is required. However, it is an option on HTC Sense ROMs in case you're considering a custom ROM.

Thank you. That wasn't the answer I was hoping for but that's not your fault. :)

Not gonna jump into Sense on my Nexus One. Too many issues with Sense ROMs on it and I can't sacrifice the reliability. I am running CM6 stable on it and have had zero issues (less, in fact, than the stock ROM).

But thank you though. Looks like the BB is getting all my Exchange support.
