Ok mac users. I want to know how successful the android phones are in regards to syncing with mac. The contacts, calendar, back up and everything. I currently have a bold, and want a touch screen phone. (The storm bb's seem really slow to me. Processing wise). Currently the only successful mac syncing phones are the iphone and bb, is android a third option?

As far as I know, and what I've actually done, I've just sync'd with google and then it's right on your droid. As far as photos, etc. You could make a picasa acct and they will auomatically sync with your device (if you choose to do so). Other than drag and drop for the media files, I saw a program a week or so ago called Sailing mediasync. You could try that out.
well for the contacts, calendar,... ETC .... there is no need to sync it with a mac/pc as its constantly sync'd with the google servers. So if you loose/break your phone all is not lost because as soon as you log into your google account with a new android phone or from a computer all the info is there. Then all the media (music/movies/pics) are stored on the SD card.
Is there a way to plug in an Android phone and have it appear as a drive so you can drag and drop files from the phone to OSX?
yeah just plug it in to a usb port then you will get a notification to mount the phone hit that and it shows up as an external flash drive.... i do this all the time in snow leopard.
