I'm on my 2nd week of DejaOffice/CL trial, and so far I'm fairly happy with it. Mostly I'm happy to find a sync that works over USB, since putting our corporate data on some 3rd party server is not an option.
I do have a couple of things I've noticed that I wouldn't quite calls "bugs", but definitely quirks that developers can look at (I'm using a Motorola Droid):
- Every once in a while my calendar opens in the wrong year (1969 or 1972, can't remember which). I haven't figured out the pattern on when it happens
- The shortcuts on the Home screen don't always work properly. I add them by long-pressing on the home screen, then Shortcuts->DejaOffice. If I open, say, DejaToday and exit via Home Button, then click on a different short cut (DejaContacts, Sync, whatever) I come back to DejaToday instead of the shortcut I actually clicked on. All work fine if I exit via "Back" button.
- Syncing from Lotus Notes: A recurring event where one of the individual entries has been changed or cancelled doesn't seem to sync changes to the phone. Found this one when I showed up to an empty meeting room last week...
I'd like to throw out some suggestions also, maybe hear whether any of these are things that are planned:
- Dialing phone numbers from cal entry: this is something I got used to with my BlackBerry. Calendar entries often include a conference call #, which includes some kind of passcode. It's a pain to have to switch back and forth between calendar and phone apps to enter these.
- Displaying work week # from week or month view: a lot of companies communicate schedules in terms of work week, another feature I used a lot with BB
- Any plans to sync calendar entry attachments? Meeting invites often include some kind of PDF, Doc, etc. Would be nice if the attachment is brought over, then I could open it with whatever viewer I have installed.
- Any plans for an agenda-type widget? Something that shows the next 2 or 3 appointments on the home screen?
Thanks,
Ivan
