You HAVE to have a Gmail account and be signed in, in order to do ANYTHING with the Android Market.

No, sorry, I was stating that it only syncs Calendar and Contacts locally

I have a Gmail account and I will sign-in using it. I just don't want to select Google as my sync source - NO SYNCING WITH GOOGLE APPS!

So, can you test to see if you can activate and use the voice command application thru a bluetooth headset without touching the phone.

i'll add it to my list, but i'm sure that's also dependent on the headset and i'd be using a jawbone so even if mine does the average headset might not

So what will be the best way to get our WM contacts onto the Hero?

I think it depends on how you are syncing your WM contracts now and how you want to sync them on the Hero. From my readings, this is what I've learned.

1. If currently syncing locally with Outlook and want to continue local syncing with Outlook on the Hero, then select your sync source as Outlook from the settings menu and use the HTC HotSync app to sync.

2. If currently using Exchange and want to continue to use Exchange, then select your sync source as Exchange and setup your Exchange account on the Hero.

3. If you want to use the Google PIM apps on the Hero, then I don't know. I didn't research how to sync and use the Google PIM apps, because I don't plan to use them.
