Mail sync to Exchange just isn't as snappy as my previous BlackBerry Storm. When the BB went "ding" I knew to refresh my mail client, Entourage 2008 for Mac OS X. With the Droid, I sometimes see email in Entourage and then wonder, "Why didn't the phone go off?"
Filters - The BB had quite good filtering "on the device". I get quite a bit of automated mail from our servers and I've had to change how I work a little bit.
Notification - The BB had a bright red LED that blinked when you got email, texts, etc. The Droid does too, but it's green and not nearly as bright. This is one area the BB and Droid have it all over the iPhone! One other area the BB excelled was "notification reconciliation" - when I opened email in Entourage, the BB would eventually sync and turn off the notification LED. With Droid/Android, the LED always keeps blinking and the notifications increment, but never decrement.
Calendar - My Droid experience has been unsatisfactory. At first my Corporate Calendar wouldn't sync at all, I would get "Authentication Errors". After consulting The Google, I removed my "corporate account" completely from the Droid and re-added it from the Corporate Calendar app. Same exact settings, just different "entry point". Now I get calendar sync, but I'm getting TWO of every event... bah!
Contacts Sync - Mostly it worked just lovely. My brother and father share given names (the silly bastards) and getting the two of them sync'd just right took a bit of effort.
