Notes:

1 Requires free Outlook Mobile update
2 Only finds email address, phone numbers, title and company
3 3rd party downloadable client available for purchase for RIM BlackBerry devices
4 Because this is an application, a remote wipe wipes all data in the
application but not the entire device
5 S/MIME performance depends on how S/MIME is used[14]
6 Encryption is for the applications memory and not the entire device
7 Policy is available but is client-side only and thus does not respond to
server-side policy settings
8 Phone number and email address only
9 can only create personal calendar entry, no meeting requests
10 Info is derived from other info sent from the device as opposed to sent in
the protocol
11 E series devices do a full wipe while N series devices only do a wipe of
the Exchange data
12 Some devices have a conversation view which is simply grouped by subject
and is not the EAS based conversation view feature
13 S/MIME was not included in EAS 12.0 so it was added back at this point (it
had been in EAS 2.5)
14 Information in this chart is additive. This means that information that is
listed for a later version of Exchange ActiveSync does not list the features of
the previous version but the product does include them. Compatibility in an
earlier version indicates compatibility in the later version unless otherwise
noted.
15 Follow-up flags are implemented as "stars" on the device.
16 Device encryption is only supported on iPhone 3GS hardware and later.
These devices are encrypted by default, therefore this setting is only used to
check the devices status if the 'Allow non-Provisional Devices' policy is set
(and the box unchecked). Once this is configured, earlier devices report back
that they do not support device encryption and therefore access to Exchange
will be blocked.[15]
17 N900 is a non-provisionable device and does not support any policies.
However, attachment downloading is always possible.
18 Device says it respects this policy but no device changes are made.
19 Supports gzip compression.
20 Some native device support with newer 2.3 phones. Also 3rd party Android
apps (i.e. Touchdown) have added support for SMS Sync.
21 Require device encryption is achieved by using NotifyMDM.
22 Encrypts all corporate data/attachments downloaded to SD card.
23 Disables corporate data/attachments from being downloaded to SD card.
23 Encrypts corporate data stored on device regardless of whether device
supports encryption natively or not.
24 Encrypts non-removable (emulated) SD card storage (e.g. Nexus S, Galaxy
Nexus, etc.) starting in 4.0.4
25 Starting in 4.0.4
26 Cryptographic modules in iOS/OSX CoreCrypto and CoreCrypto Kernel are
"In Review" so potentially a partial "Yes" in the future
27 Only supported through BDS
28 Partial
29 Assuming that Contacts are synced too
30 On Samsung's devices

    Is it a Chrome/Safari thing or is half the table obscured by the right-hand "Options" column? Looks a great table but I can't see most of it (Android/Palm etc.). Thanks,   Hi, Thanks for commenting. It must be a browser issue. I use IE9 and it shows properly. Regards, João Ribeiro

    What would also be useful (if at all possible) is whether the client is truthful about email store encryption. For example, Nokia E-Series can connect to our Exchange server which requires encryption, but the table above says not supported. The same was apparently true for older iOS versions. Thanks for the table!

    Hi Zach,   Please check the updated comparison table.   Should you need further info, just let me know :)   Kind regards,   João Ribeiro     Please update this valuable table as my organization is currently rejecting the use of and support for Windows Phone 8 devices in favor of Android...
