Touchdown for Exchange
 
I'm trying Touchdown for Exchange today. Am Loving it so far because I don't have to deal with the policies that our exchange admins force on all of the windows mobile phones (one of his policies screwed up my memory card).

I've got a couple of things

1st - Who else has it here and give me your opinions. Like it, Hate it, Doesn't Work, worth the 10 bucks.

2nd - I do a lot with MS Sql and over night I get SQL Maintenance plan alerts just stating that jobs over night have finished. I know with active sync you can schedule when it checks mail and I'm wondering has anybody found a way to do any type of scheduling with Touchdown.

I'm also very interested in this program.

I utilize my company's Exchange Server for contacts and calendar. My phone is a personal use phone, so I'm not required to get my email on it, however, I do in fact like to be able to answer an email if I'm out and about and not busy. The only problem I'm finding with the software built into the phone, is the Mail client takes FOREVER to open and refresh. it is pretty brutal. Everything else on my phone is pretty snappy, but my Mail client is horribly slow.

Does Touchdown refresh/open quickly? If I were to use this, I would only really want it for email, as the native apps on the Hero handle my contacts and calendar fine. I suppose I could try to use it for calendar, as the native app notifications are a little odd the way they function, but my main question has to do with the functionality of the email.

My other option is to see how the MR update affects it (if at all).

I'm finding that you can set it to do the active sync push and get mail as it comes in or could set it to check in intervals. I set mine up for intervals of 15 minutes. I also slowed down the playing with it since we are finally / hopefully/ we better get some sort of smart device for work this year. We are a it consulting company with people on the road all the time. Some of our clients want an answer and they wanted it yesterday.

So this is an email client aside from the stock email client right? It doesn't use the stock email client?

I'm looking into something like this but not sure about paying for it unless it's really worth it. Like the other poster, it's my personal phone and we are night required to have email on our phones but it's still nice to have. And I can't seem to get it to work because of the SSL issue and auto wipe policy we seem to have.
