So... if you set up activesync on winMo to use Google sync (by going into activesync on your phone and setting up the server as per the instructions here http://www.google.com/support/mobile...36&topic=14299), you will sync your contacts, calendar, etc with gmail (and get push gmail notifications, sweet!).
Then, when you switch over to Android, log in using the same google account, and viola! WinMo and Droid are in sync, no matter which you use!!

Can't get any simpler...
This is great but I don't sync with outlook. Do you know of a way to do this with pim backup? I searched in the android market without luck. I guess I may have to sync to outlook and then use your instructions. Thanks again for the write up.
