I disagree. It was great about 5 years ago but the times have kind of passed it by. Perhaps the situation is better on the Storm or Bold but on my 8330: 1) No

I disagree. It was great about 5 years ago but the times have kind of passed it by. Perhaps the situation is better on the Storm or Bold but on my 8330:
1) No native IMAP support
2) No native Exchange support without a BES
3) Horrific attachment viewer.
4) No real-time spellcheck
5) No auto-correction
6) No easy way to sync contacts/calendars over the air
7) No (minimal?) HTML e-mail support (unfortunately sometimes it does help make long e-mail chains more readable)
8) Gotta rely on your carrier for push e-mail -- or in the case of Sprint "Oh yeah we'll send it if we get a chance. Give us like 20 minutes K?" e-mail service.
9) No intuitive way of deleting lots of e-mail messages that don't happen to all be sequential to each other in the list.
10) No folders -- just one big flat mailbox. Hard to save messages on your phone this way. Again, fixed if you have a BES but I don't want my $200 SmartPhone to require $2k-$5k in hardware/software to be functional.
It certainly gets the job done for the basics but once you get used to having more options and flexibility it's hard to go back.
