*LOST FEATURES:
* Auto on/off
* Calendar search
* Ability to configure {any} notification ("Phone: Incoming call" is my app) for vibrate, then increasing ring.
* Phone profiles
* Reminders - Can no longer edit the Reminder time for an individual occurrence of a Series. You can only edit it for the Series.
* Google maps
* Notification that Bluetooth headset has dropped

*ActiveSync:
1. doesn't seem to have a backup feature.
2. doesn't allow you to view details of conflicting items so that you can knowledgeably choose which to keep. You have to guess!

NOTES:
* Can't holster to use hands-free. This because the raised red End button is pressed when holstered. Can leave phone upside-down in holster to fall out.
* When removed it sometimes redials automatically AND activates music player.
* Volume control range inadequate
* End button is placed where my finger rests when using the stylus
* While sleeping, a press of the Power button flashes the screen for a moment, but doesn't wake it. A second, longer press is required.
* If put phone in sleep mode at night, alarm doesn't work!
* Inadequate memory to even configure the camera
