I finally took the plunge and got an Android phone Saturday. I got an HTC Droid Incredible 2. Before going further, a confession. A few months ago I was arguing with someone on another thread and saying that it is easy to set up Exchange mail on an Android phone. But I was wrong it seems. True enough, it set up quickly, but it doesnt work right in my hands. So while there are some things I love about the phone, the Exchange issues are close to a show stopper for me. Basically, it partially works. Some folders from my Exchange account (connecting through OWA) show up on the phone but a lot, including some critical ones, dont show up at all. Also, some (most) of my contacts show up on the phone but not all of them. Again, as with the folders it seem random as to what is on the phone and what isnt. As I see it I have a few possible options:

1) Is there some setting or something that will make it work?

2) Take it back and get another Android phone. Will any other work better with Exchange? (has to be Verizon and probably not 4G due to battery issues).

3) Use a third party app. I dont mind this if need be. Im currently testing Touchdown. If I use it should I shut down the Active Sync on the phone completely? If so will it integrate calendar and contacts with the phone apps? It doesnt seem like Touchdown snagged all the contacts either when it synced but I could be wrong about that. Need to check.

4) Another third party app. I am open to suggestions.

5) Give up - return to BB 9650 (ack! there are some things I REALLY like about the HTC. Would hate to give up).

I did searches with The Google. These seem to be know issues with HTC phones at least from what I can tell. But I havent been able to find any fixes. Thanks for any suggestions.
