The factory support for exchange is getting better on Android phones (as has been the case with the iPhone as well).
HTC devices that run sense have better exchange functionality. Some of the things that are missing from the stock Exchange-Android support is the abbility to add a signature to your emails or accept a meeting invite from the email. HTC sense addresses these issues, but it should also be noted that Android 2.2 (Froyo) is also addressing these issues. - Chris On Thu, Jul 22, 2010 at 12:11 PM, Ceron, Carlos <[email protected]> wrote: > Curious, has anyone looked into not using the default built-in email client > on Android devices.
