If you mean to be asking whether it syncs with an Exchange server, my Droid X does fine.

I have the Samsung Captivate, ATT Service. My Gmail downloads completely to my phone but not always to my outlook, sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't.

Can't figure out why and have not felt like calling my ATT Customer Service.

I’m not on Verizon but my HTC Hero with Android syncs (over the air) with our Exchange Server at work with no problems. I get mail, calendar, contacts, the works.

There is also a PC app (from HTC) that I use to sync via USB to MS Outlook on my computer at home. It gives me the granularity to choose what I want to sync - usually just contacts and calendar.

My HTC Evo (Sprint) connects OTA to Microsoft Exchange better than any of my WinMo phones did. I imagine this is the case of any Android phone running 2.1/2.2.

It also connects to my home computer every time, unlike my experience with ActiveStink.

It will sync with Exchange it’s just a pain, not as easy as the iPhone.

I have to run an app called “lock picker” other wise I would have to enter a password every time the screen goes dark. (Something about exchange security.) This all runs great on my Evo.

Take a look at Sony Ericsson’s Xperia X10 smart phone. I’m pretty sure it has active exchange with Outlook...calendar, tasks, mail, etc. Also opens attachments.

Also it has GAL, global address listing, for people who work for corporations (like IBM, FedEx, etc.), they have the global contact list for all worldwide employees through their work email.

It also has a nice 4” screen, plus 8.1 megapixel camera!

Samsung Galaxy S. It appears not, but there may be utilities. Haven’t put any time into it yet.

All unlocked and almost all locked Android phones using a version of Android prior to Froyo sync with Microsoft Outlook, Microsoft Outlook Business Contact Manager, and Microsoft Exchange Server, with full SSL and signed certs etc now.

A commercial solution:

On top of that you can disable the Exchange Server 15 minute lockout with this little app:

I’m using the HTC sync app, I’ve had problems syncing outlook notes to Android though, but I use that so sporadically it doesn’t matter.

I have the Motorola Droid and it syncs with my work Exchange server just fine. It even updates my calendar based on meetings and also send meeting reminders. I can send and receive e-mails (work address book is automatically loaded) and accept meetings. I can read unread messages on my phone and they will show up as read on my PC (and vice-versa). The only thing that I cannot figure out how to do is set up meetings through my phone.

All I needed to set it up was Domain\Username, Password, and Server. (my Domain is my company name and for Server it says wmail.companyname.com)

Husband and I run our own technology business. We have a hosted Exchange solution for our e-mail. Perfect solution for a small business. Works great on everything but husband’s new Droid. It does not synch with MS Outlook. His Droid is a couple of months old, so this info may not apply to the very latest version.

I have chosen to stick with the tried and true Blackberry as it is very business friendly. I get all of my e-mails from various sources (including the ones from applications that allow me to monitor customers servers), I have my Office apps. It just works. I know its no longer as sexy as a Droid, but it works and I don’t have to constantly fuss with it.

I love the fact that I am always telling him about things he is in the dark about because his phone only gets e-mails part of the time :-) (snicker, snicker). As the slow technology adopter, I am always happy to be of service.

Yes it will. The Droid Pro (business version) will be out soon too.
