Yes.. you make many good points. I've done some digging since I made my first post.. There are a host of things the pre won't support when it comes to Exchange. I don't know if Palm just found it too hard to implement them or they wanted to enable the bare minimum so they could say they support EAS.. either way I think they are short changing themselves by not supporting all the security that EAS has to offer and endear themselves to the corporate IT departments that take security seriously...
In the meantime, yes the Pre won't work with self signed Certs, unless you know how to configure the server to generate a proper cert.. Anyway get a 3rd party cert, it makes this setup easier and doesn't hurt the security of you server either!
