My question is the same as from the formal into of WP7. Will we be able to direct sync Outlook with WP7 without having to use the Cloud. I'm sure this will hurt sales to small and medium size businesses that don't have an Exchange setup.

I'm curious how the exchange sync works.
One of my favorite features of WM is how active sync works. I work in my office 80% of the time, so with 3 clicks/taps I can turn off the email sync, but keep contacts & calendar synced up. Also if its Saturday afternoon & I look at my phone I don't have to see an unread message from work (because I would HAVE to check it). Then, when I'm working out of the office, those same 3 taps can turn on the email sync. I once tried a Blackberry for 3 weeks, and while it was a nice phone, the inability to easily turn off my work email brought me back to windows mobile.

Can WP7 do this?

Also by browsing the boards I noticed that folks seem to be saying that its not very easy to turn bluetooth & wi-fi on and off. You have to jump menus to do it. On my TP2 I have a simple toggle button right on my homescreen.

Here's hoping big red gets a HD7S or 7 Pro

Man, the HD7s is the only reason I was thinking about moving to AT&T....

1. Remote Desktop(RDC) app for us Windows Admins
2. Wi-Fi tethering
3. backgrounds on the home page behind the tiles, will more customization be an option (maybe transparent tiles?)??
4. file access (USB device for My document files)
