I'm pretty sure the HTC Evo still has ActiveSync, whether the Android
Native or HTC's version.

Well, this may be better for Calendar, but what about Contacts?

Is there a CardDAV Sync for Android?

Honestly, this all is why I'm looking at zarafa + z-push as my solution.
In the short term I can use ActiveSync, and longer term I can switch to
CalDAV and CardDAV.  And then I'd have the best of all worlds in one
solution.
