That implies you will be using cardav/caldav on those phones?  I thought 
Android support was quite weak for those?

I definitely don't like the idea of supporting activesync, but it seems 
like the only widely supported solution to pushing calendar and contacts 
updates to clients?  Caldav gets you part of the way there, but cardav 
seems badly supported and there is no push support with either...

Out of curiousity, what kind of performance are you getting out of the 
web interface and any tricks you used to improve "perceived" 
performance? My quick testing gave something circa 150-200ms response 
times from SOGo (forget exactly now) and as a result it was perceivable 
and just very slightly laggy (versus a desktop mail program!!).  I get 
slightly better perceived performance from Roundcube (which also seems 
more amenable to building extension plugins)

Seems a bit of a surprise that a compiled language delivers results 
slightly less quickly than PHP... Did you find any magic knobs to twist 
to get performance up there with gmail?
