Just giving you some info that you may or may not have known about.

Interesting. When you say it does almost all of those things, what would you say it doesn't do? And what's the "more" stuff that it does?

I'm sure with Sense, it has most of the fit and finish of TouchFLO/Manila etc. Here are some questions though:

-Does it sync properly with Exchange (email, calendar, tasks) while still supporting sync with the Google cloud?
-Does it sync directly with Outlook? I think this is a no.
-Does it do WinMo style smart dial from the dialer where you can bring up the dialpad and just use that to start typing the letters of your contact's name and it finds them intelligently?
-Is there support for text message scheduling? Or an app for this?
-Is there support for backing up text messages to PC for plain text reading? Or just plain backup even?

If the answer to most of these is yes, then I just might consider giving skipping over the HD2 I've been waiting for and give Android a longer shot. The only other problem is pretty basic apps without much attention to UI etc, but that should be picking up pretty rapidly with Android hopefully.
