Google did already Contacts and Calendar, but now also Mail, it would be very nice if all 3 would work perfectly on the N900

Any body with a device too test this?

It's going to be hard to really test this and give you accurate information about the N900's Exchange capabilities for a little while yet since I'm sure Google Sync is being SLAMMED right now by new people trying it, server-side bugs, etc...

And then again, the N900's own software isn't done yet, so any info given to you could be out of date tomorrow even.

Hopefully the implementation uses modest with HTML support. The biggest problem with Mail4Exchange as its instituted on s60 devices is that there is limited support for html emails.

It's available for any device that supports the MS Active Sync protocol which includes S60 running Mail for Exchange as well as the N900.

If you had defined "work perfectly" this would be even answerable, but my crystalball is broken to know about your expectations. ;-)

Does anyone know if the exchange implementation supports multiple accounts? Or is it just a port of the s60 Mail for Exchange app (that only lets you sync with one account)?

Would be great if I could sync my private and business mail with the exchange client. Not to mention calendar and contacts. Getting a bit tired of IMAP for gmail...

I think it only works with one exchange account at a time. Of course the software's still changing and there's still a lot of time until release, so this could change.

I know NDAs are still in place, but has anyone seen definitive word about this?

I've been using an ActiveSync client on my Android phone to get my work e-mail and calendar, which obviously will be supported by the N900 as stated extensively.

The question is whether I'll be able to also use Google Sync at the same time. Man, that would be sweet...

I doubt it. I think even WinMo devices only support one ActiveSync setup at the time. This might be a limitation of the protocol?

Apparently Palm Pre has multiple exchange account support. No idea how they've pulled that off though, especially when Microsoft claims that it's not possible: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa995986%28EXCHG.65%29.aspx.
