Anyone using an Android with their SYNC? Any issues?

Although not a droid, my samsung focus windows 7 phone has been flawless, with every feature working as designed, including voice to text.

This, in and of itself, is almost a reason for me to go back to Windows Phone -- I just love my Android too much....

My Dell Streak (Android 2.2 Froyo) only basically works... contacts and such will sync up but, no voice to text and items that are more intuitive for the SYNC system...

My DroidX works great, at the risk of jinxing it, Pandora steams reliably to the SYNC as well, very rarely listen to Sirius anymore.

I'm using a Droid Incredible with Verizon and so far it has been alright. The biggest problem I have is a music app I use on the phone turning on after I shut the truck off and open the door.

It's almost time to renew my cell contract and looking at option's and phones. Although I'm not a huge fan of AT&T wireless, it is the best option for my area and my current needs.

Thanks for the input.

My Samsung Intercept works fine... virgin mobile (they use sprints network)! Streaming Pandora through bluetooth is a great alternative to Sirius.

I have an Incredible and have to keep WiFi disabled when in the truck. With wifi on and connected in my house or office, as soon as I drove away, the wifi dropped and took Bluetooth with it. Pissed me off to no end until I found something online about it.

I have Verizon, Samsung Galaxy S 3G (Android), and nothing but issues. Phone pairs and connects, halfway through a conversation, phone automatically goes to "privacy" mode, or phone just disconnects. However, I assume it could be something wrong with the actual Sync module, so when it goes in for an oil change, I will have them check it. Any tips?
