Calendar invites? Never heard. Sorry.

There is no OpenVPN or VPNC client that works out of the box. I had to hack it to get it to work.
Hack? WTF? Configure or did he do some real coding?

Battery life is terrible, lasts at most 2-3 hrs.
Maybe for him but not all

Mail for Exchange does not work as advertised. Can’t get it to work at all. Very vague errors messages.
Provisioning issue or just some other error. People reporting here that it works with 2003 and 2007 and some people have little issues.

There is no ability to search email.
Yesss...now we are speaking. This is enchantment that should in my opinion have been there out of box.

No ability to search across all apps; even PalmOS has this back in 1994.
Yes. This is also weird. We have tracker process that is probably able to index also documents, but we do not have Spotlight like utility. Some program popped to extras but yeah it would be nice thing to have out of box.

You cannot delete an email without opening it.
Long press email?

The standard Jabber client will not connect, but the hacked-up Pidgin client will.
And so?

Too many competing mechanisms/apps/conduits to sync email/contacts/calendar.
Be more detailed just jibberish to me.

Cannot import .ics files or .vcard files, so you are stuck using some other conduit or 3rd party, if you can find something that works.
Okey this sucks if it really is true. .edit it's not ture?

Does not support any “standard” sync protocols except Exchange, which doesn’t work.
Exchange works but seems to have on SOME people some issues. And WTF is "standard" its standard or it's not standard.

I could go on and on.
Please so we can really see is this user error or some bug.
