We have about 25,000 EAS users here, many of whom have multiple devices. About 40 percent of those are iPhones/iPads and most the rest are Android devices though we still have a smattering of PalmOS, WebOS hanging around too. I personally have a Samsung Epic, a WebOS and a PalmOS device all syncing flawlessly with my mailbox.
We do see some scattered issues with iPhones, most of which are related to calendars. On the Android side almost all of the issues we see are related to older devices (the Motorola devices have been the most problematic). I have not looked recently but if we have more than 100 people using TouchDown I'd be stunned. TouchDown works well but you do lose some of the tight integration features you get with the native clients. One thing I would suggest when you are troubleshooting. if you have a user or device that has issues try removing the ActiveSync policy from the user. After you do that delete the device association and set it back up again. The overwhelming majority of the issues we've had are related to how the devices handle policies.

WP7 and 7.5 were consumer oriented and the enterprise features will start to arrive in the next major release of WP. I'll probably switch from WM to WP when the Nokia 900 is released in March; even though WP 7.5 misses 3 important features to me (IRM, Outlook SMS integration, and a third which escapes me just this moment). I recommend them, and I recommend TouchDown to my clients that have settled on Android. Regards, Michael B.

Windows Mobile and Windows Phone. A close third is TouchDown. As far as I know and have been told, what it implements, it implements properly. But it doesn't implement everything. All other licensees have, at a minimum, message fidelity issues (which can lead to item corruption) and, at worst, they flat out delete items of various types when they shouldn't. Regards, Michael B.

I was thinking this same thing as I as forwarding MBS's message to someone I know. BB has taken hits lately for everything from outages to CEO asshattery but for an enterprise situation I still think they have it. Depending on what you use it for anyway. I feel with bb at least you get a fairly level playing field as opposed to different vendors implementing "standards" differently (and not just iDevs). I might be limited in that I'm in a support role and not havening to show off the latest integration with FB/twitfeed/whatever at a sales thing, or impress someone with the latest gadget at a business meeting but I want a bb. To each their own I guess. I have to support it all because some folks are out there trying to make money/sales, some make more$ than me so what can I say, and some have them just because they can.
