Agreed. Jumping to the Sprint Hero until a snapdragon or tegra wm7 phone arrives.

I have to admit...the price tag on this makes it much more attractive than the TP2

I didn't look closely at HTC Sync because I have a hosted Exchange Server (Sherweb) and I was trying to find out how the HTC implimentation of Exchange handles creating new Tasks and syncing Tasks.

that's a mighty fine question and i haven't the foggiest idea of how to answer it. as far as i know most phones that will sync with outlook that aren't windows usually only do calendar, contacts, and email but wouldn't sync notes, tasks, whatever etc. i hope it would but we won't know til the 11th

In the PDF link posted by MrChainsaw above, the Hero will sync calendar, contacts, and email. Doesn't specifically mention anything else, so I'm going by what is listed by sprint.

If the Hero does not sync Tasks, I will not get it - this is a deal breaker for me!
