gTen, I hear what you are saying and I WANT to agree with you. But sadly, my experiences have not matched up with what you describe. And I think you've missed my point.

I'm not glued to Microsoft, for the record. I would gladly switch to ANYTHING that worked just as well. I'm also a big fan of open source and standards. However, I'm also willing to admit that sometimes open source does not work as well or offer the same features as the commercial alternatives.
Funny you should mention Funambol, I'm actually very familiar with the product (I've actually got a picture with me and the creator, Fabrizio Capobianca, at a tech conference). SyncML is a great concept. In practice, Exchange just works better and more efficiently. I tried Funambol, I ended up going back to Exchange.

Good call on the un-rar tool, btw! But if you read over my point in the first post, you'll see that I admit most of my gripes are things that will most likely come out sooner or later. But right now, those inconveniences are legitimate for anyone coming from Windows Mobile who used their phones the way I do. There are certain things I've come to expect from my handset, and while Android is catching on extremely fast, its not quite there yet.
