Just like you I was shocked when looking through my device that I could NOT natively sync my Exchange calendar... coming from my iphone, this feels a bit cold.
When I talked to a coworker, however, he said his DROID can do it via a "corporate" style account setting... which seems mysteriously lacking on the Nexus One. Is this true? If so, shouldn't the Nexus One (being that DROID and N1 are both "stock" style devices) have the same settings?!
Unfortunatly, the google desktop app doesnt work for me. My company has our computers locked down so we cannot install apps that require writing to protected areas (like an Outlook plugin), and they already shot down my request to get it installed. That is a fragmented experience anyway, since if my computer goes to sleep I lose my syncing of events for that time period.
I don't want to use something like Touchdown, unless there is an app out there that will put the exchange calendar items into my default google calendar app on the N1 device itself... I don't want MULTIPLE calendar applications to worry about... grr.
Anyone know if this is a setting that a modified rom might be able to make available to us in the future?
