Recently my employer told me to go pick up a new phone. So I read up on the Android phones, mytouch, G1, etc. And I went and played with them.
I have problems with the interface being slow. Everything has a slight delay on these phones. But my real problem was the requirement of having a google account to access the phone and the requirement of syncing your address book to google in order to get your contacts on the phone. This was a deal breaker for me and raised serious concerns.
It's also slow when searching for contacts and emails.
So my question to those of you living the corporate life, how did you get the company to approve this phone?
The google account is only needed for the marketplace. You do not need to sync anything with your google account, including email. Email updates from the google account are easily turned off. If your contacts are in Exchange, you can synch with a third-party app like Touchdown.
Mine's not slow-- not all google phones are created equal. Also depends on if there are a ton of apps running in the background.
My company had no problem approvign the phone.
