I have no idea about mike's rom as I make my own.

Sorry to see y'all are giving up on Windows, but I need it. Can anyone help me with the Bluetooth issue? Can't use Bluetooth with ActiveSync nor can I see the whole phone when paired, just the bluetooth folder on the phone. But I can sync and see the whole phone when paired via USB.

Actually Android syncs up with Outlook just fine now, and even has a few new outlook/exchange enhancements in the latest 2.2 "FROzen YOgurt" update

Last year someone asked me why I was still using WinMo instead of Android. I told them that, while Android looked nice and had a lot of excitement behind it, it still didn't offer the same level of customization and didn't offer the same features that WinMo did since Android was still too new. I then told him that I would re-evaluate in a year once Google had more time to develop it... Well a lot has happened in that year. Android now offers every feature I want from a phone (which is saying a lot).

Now I'm not an Android fanboy by any means, but it's come a long way since I myself was publicly bashing it just a short year ago. And if they keep putting out Android phones like this one or this one (sans the retina-burning red please - that had better just be the FCC demo colors), I just may switch to the dark side like everyone else :twisted:

...

Now for your issue about bluetooth... HTC uses the Widcomm bluetooth stack, not the Microsoft one. Which means you are sh!t out of luck when it comes to bluetooth w/ activesync. Sorry, champ. We all feel your pain on this one. There was once a bounty thread offering a several hundred dollar reward for anyone who could port over the Microsoft BT stack so that you wouldn't have to go through what you're going through right now. But last I checked, the request was still unfulfilled

Exchange Server only syncs with the main Contact Folder. Zimbra only syncs with the main Contact Folder. Google will sync, but it is so unstable as to be completely unreliable for regular work. Unless I want to completely erase the pim file and start anew once a week. So for me it's WinMo or NoGo.

I guarantee that Android won't be able to deal with this Outlook sync issue(s). First, I need to sync multiple contact folders, with over 8,000 contacts and second, I need to bring over the notes section of the contacts as well, because that's where I store the person's resume for easy viewing (I save the doc files as well, but separately). Outlook can sync the notes section of the contact. Android and iPhone won't. And there is only one way to sync multiple folders and that is with Chapura's Pocket Mirror which I bought years ago and is not even supported anymore. I have to run it in Vista compatibility mode otherwise it won't work at all with Win 7.

Keep in mind that Mike is now using an Android device on an HSPA (not CDMA) network. The CDMA TP2 is, sadly, a dying breed. It should last a while for those who still use it. But you will never again see the level of tweaking and support that we once saw with it

Something us yet to be married people will be telling our kids.

Back in my day cell phones had to be tweaked and hacked to work. You have it easy.
