Corporate Sync

[scarr]

Can anyone tell me if it cost any more to use the Corporate Sync on the Droid X?

No... not at all. The DROID X uses a Motorola app called Corporate Sync that takes care of that task. It syncs exchange email, calendar, and contacts.

Hey, different things work for different people and I think that's great.

Nonetheless, just to try to be clear and official, my understanding of the two main data plans available from Verizon Wireless (at least at the time that I got my Droid X on 7/15) was that the more expensive (then about $45.00 a month) plan included Exchange email, whereas the less expensive (then about $30.00 a month) did not include Exchange email. Even the people at the corporate Verizon store told me that I could probably set up an Exchange account on the cheaper data plan that officially was supposed to exclude Exchange. However, I wanted everything to be straight forward, honest, on the up and up, etc., so I signed up for the more expensive data plan explicitly advertised for allowing Exchange email.

By the way, I have two different Exchange email accounts (one from each of two different employers). The current 2.1 OS on the Droid X only allows me to set up an icon and have direct access to one of them. In the settings, I can choose only one of them for push or fetch. This seems like an unnecessary down-side to the current 2.1 OS. I receive notifications from the second Exchange email account. However, in order really to access the second Exchange email account, I have to go into the settings and select one of the two Exchange accounts for push/fetch, which defaults as the primary (and sort of the only) Exchange email account.

1) So, I believe that officially it does cost more for the data plan designed for corporate email (just read the Verizon Wireless options/descriptions for data plans).

---

2) Also, even if you pay for the corporate Exchange data plan, it seems that you cannot have two Exchange accounts set up properly.

---

Can anyone else shed more light on either or both of these two issues?

Get Touchdown.

It works much better for Exchange.

We are having problems with the corporate sync not giving notifications.

You only need a regular data plan with the DROID X.

That may be different with other types of phones like a Blackberry... but not so on the DROID X. My company is on Exchange 2010 and I don't have any issues with using a regular data plan which is required to for this phone as it is.

I don't feel guilty one bit about not paying extra to use exchange. I use far more data browsing the web then through email. AND Verizon knew what I was going to be using the phone for when they set me up my account and applied all of my companies discounts.
