Thanks Mike for replying.  I may have been confusedby the different names
the phone has in other countries.  Here in Canada, the Motorola Droid Razr
(one of the models I am interested in) is simply called Motorola Razr.  I
thought the "Motorola Droid" that is on the
http://wiki.horde.org/ActiveSync[1]was referring to the Motorola Droid
Razr... Is it?

As for this phone, it ships from the provider (Rogers Canada) with Android
2.3
(http://www.rogers.com/web/link/wirelessBuyFlow?forwardTo=PhoneThenPlan&productType=normal&productId_Detailed=XT910BLKR&N=52+11#)

There is so many brands, versions, OS'es , models, its overwhelming to
make a clear and informed decision......

Any help would be appreciated, I really dont want to change my iphone 4
(iOS5.0.1) for a worst phone....  I currently use AS and my contacts,
calendar and tasks all seems to sync very well at this time.  And of
course, yes the web interfaces should be pretty much cross platform and
work well...
Thanks!!
