Yep, you can sync it with Outlook. Can also sync with an Exchange server for push functionality.

I may have to look closer at the Motorola one when the prices come down a bit...Unless HTC has a Verizon model with the keyboard of course.... I held a friends Motorola Droid and it was a nice combo of size and weight for a PPC, and I liked the keyboard....

No. You cant. At all. Only Exchange, and only Gmail. Just sold my Moment...

Sure you can. You first need to download an update from HTC, which you can get here http://www.htc.com/us/support/hero-sprint/downloads/. Then awwwwwy you go!

Well if anyone saw the post to the news front page. Looks like MS is turning Windows Mobile 7 into the looks of the competitors. Some will like it, some will not. I for one think if what I read is true, I have gone in the right direction ...to Android. And from the looks of what I read, so is Microsoft.
If some company was really in it to win it, they would build a piece of hardware that could run multiple OS from say the SD card. Oh, wait ...wasn't that Windows Mobile? ..Not anymore. buh-bye.

I like the windows to be able to use word, excell, and to show power point. Does the droid have any software for that????

While you cannot edit .doc & xls files, you can view them w/android. Besides, with all due respect, do you really want to create or edit any kind of doc or xls file on your phone. I mean how often do you REALLY need to do that? That alone won't stop anyone from leaving WM to go to Android. IMHO, thats pretty weak. I did see the new Windows Phone demo. While its really nice, ....I'm still not sold on it as of yet. Its not available till the holiday shopping season, so MS will have plenty of time to "woo" me back.

I have to agree about WinMo...been a big fan and had a lot of fun flashing new ROMs from all the great folks here. I went to the Motorola Droid a few weeks ago and i cant believe i waited so long. The speed and functionality and the apps all make Windows Mobile look like a dog. I might look at it again when Win Mo 7 comes out but i cant see moving away from a really well thought out OS....good luck to all, and thanks to all who have helped me in the past...on to the android forums now
