Depends on your needs I guess. Android looks promising, but so far it's
pretty weak in the Outlook sync department. If you mostly rely on Google
cloud services (GMail, GooCal, etc.) it's probably the right device for
you.

I've looked arond at Brighthand and XDA-Devs - couldn't find anything.
(Unlike with the, in this regard, far better [cooker community-]supported
iPAQ 21x.)

Let us know if anyone find anything.

My experimentation with Google contacts has generally been very
positive... the only major issue for my is that they are not currently
supporting categories sync even though they are supported in google
contacts.

otoh, google calendar sync is much nicer than outlook, plus it offers
sms/email notification options along with the possibility to share it
although general calendar sharing is not yet implemented.

One bottom line is that it's nice to be able to sit down at any computer
to access contacts and calendar plus have it push sync with winmobile.

My only negative with it when I tried it was that Google automatically
sorted all of my business contacts that also had individuals named in them
by Last Name, First Name rather than by Company Name. Friends and family
contacts that I include the companies they work for I like to sort by last
name, of course, but for the contacts of my business' vendors, for example,
I like to file by the business name, but keep the name of my sales rep or
contact listed within the contact. Not a deal breaker, but slightly
annoying- I want the Acme Widget company filed under "A", not "S" just
because my rep's name is Bob Smith.

A workaround was to move the reps' names to the "Notes" field, but my
permanent solution was to go back to using Funambol, which respects the
settings of the Outlook "File As" field.

For those of us that like using Outlook, Funambol servers also have a web
interface that allows you to access calendar and contacts from any PC, like
Google Calendar/Contacts does.

Sorta like windows mobile... and... sorta like windows mobile, the
google search/filter is pretty damm instant and, once I got used to that
and the group selection, it has not been an issue for me.
