webOS 1.2 and Exchange: Issues?

Patrick emails us to point out that many people in our forums are experiencing problems with Exchange Activesync after the webOS 1.2 update. There plenty of talk about it in the general webOS 1.2 issues thread as well as here: "webOS 1.2 - does EAS work?"

Reports are still a bit sporadic and it's not entirely clear yet where the issue lies, but people with hosted exchange accounts like 1and1, 4smartphone, or mail2web seem to be getting hit the hardest.

ditpixs says that Palm is aware of the issue and they're working on it - a posting in Palm's own support forums confirms it.

Meanwhile, there doesn't seem to be a quick fix (deleting and re-entering your account information doesn't help). If we're really looking at a problem here, guess that means Palm will need to roll one more patch into webOS 1.2.1.

How about you: did the 1.2 update break EAS on your Pre?
