Hi Goodthings, I can't thank you enough for all you work and assistance on this site. It has helped me immensely. THANK YOU!!

I purchased a nice new EVO from BestBuy, and, I ended up returning it and going back to my TP2. I could not get it to sync correctly with outlook on my pc. I used the sync program that came on the sdcard from HTC..... It was screwing up my contacts, not syncing some, combining data from one with another........ etc.

I basically live (business wise) from outlook. I couldn't sync the emails or tasks, not to mention that the calendar sync, as well as the contacts sync totally sucks.

I read in one of your posts that you were using Touchdown on your EVO, and was wondering how it was working for you. I know that that software works with an exchange server (or exchange server hosting service, I think) and was also wondering if you knew of another way to get my outlook data to sync with an android phone (NOT using gmail. Gmail = sux) with the same success and ease of use that we had with windows mobile on our TP2?

I am really bummed that i had to return my EVO, I loved it except for that reason. Well........ There were a few little things that urked me along the way too, but they were going to be easy to change. I just couldn't get past the no email, screwed up contacts... sync thing.

Thanks again

Now, rooted, I have a more stable experience by removing all the Sprint crap; better battery life (can easily get 15 hours on moderate to heavy life); and I can install Wifi Tethering for Root and get free wifi tethering that effectively turns my $10 premium data fee into a $20 savings on tethering. That's a no brainer bargain in my opinion.
