Nokia falsely advertised exchange sync/mislead people as to the N900's REAL Syncing capabilities.

Carrier Pigeon would be a better bet/faster than waiting for Nokia to implement this most basic of features.
What kind of advice is this? IMAP is perfectly fine so long as you encrypt the passwords. In any case, IMAP(s) is trivially simple to set up. You are wrong good sir. Wrong, and I challenge you to a duel.

However, about syncing, I somewhat concur. It's a pain in the backside. I set up syncml and it works fine now, however getting it set up was a lengthy afternoon trip down frustration lane.
