2 - If you use outlook then transferring the info shouldn't be a problem. If you don't then using Best Buy's new program/service should probably take care of it.
3 - Backing things up with gmail and google calendar is pretty automatic otherwise there is the Best Buy option and I know that there is other software out there for PC based back ups.
4 - Yes, it has a notepad
5 - Yes, it comes with Docs to Go
6 - Yes, it works a lot like the BlackBerry in this regard. It will also sync with Windows Media Player and I believe iTunes as well.10-30-09 04:57 PMLike 0 - Droids prompt you to set gmail acct if u don't have one and they back all ur info wirelessly so if u were to lose your phone once u connect the new phone to ur gmail acct all ur info is back I.e. Contacts calender emails

There is software out there that will let you sync to the desktop, but it kind of goes against what Android is about. The concept is that you don't have to sync because all of your information is stored on the cloud. You aren't really supposed to need any type of syncing tool. This is also what Palm is doing with WebOs. So you are not syncing your phone with one computer you are syncing your phone with every computer you access.
Here is one such product Companion Link
This is designed to sync Outlook with Google to Android and back. It is all OTA and no wires needed from what I can see.10-30-09 09:06 PMLike 0 - Yes, there is a password keeper app.

Not a slam on Android at all; it's a different philosophy. If you are comfortable with having all your data in the cloud then it shouldn't be a detractor if you're considering an Android device. If you don't, it's something to be cognizant of.
I already use google for mail, calendar, contacts, maps, reader, sync, etc. That info is already in the cloud.10-30-09 09:18 PMLike 0 - I don't know any power tech user who doesn't use google for at least 2 or 3 seperate things. It's nice to have one google account that I can use to access all my google stuff. I already have google sync on my BB and it backed up my contacts to my gmail account, so once I upgrade to my ADP1 next week or so, I'll already have all my contacts ready to go.
And storing your contacts on your computer doesn't do you any good when you're out in the middle of some place far from your house.10-30-09 09:29 PMLike 0 - Regarding wireless backup, what does it backup? I do not want my private emails, documents pictures etc.. going onto the gmail server.10-30-09 09:40 PMLike 0
