Android Jellybean to Nokia Belle

Apologies if this is already covered somewhere else but I haven't been able to find the answer to this question.

I am seriously looking at the Nokia 808 as a replacement/ adjunct to my Nexus running Jellybean.

The issue that is holding me back from hitting the buy button is: all my contacts are on Google and I need to be able to sync them to any new phone. I have read that this is done through MfE/ ActiveSync and this is indeed how I have done this with previous Symbian devices. However I also need to be able to access my work email/ calendar/ contacts. This is also done through MfE/ ActiveSync. The issue is that it appears the 808 only have the capacity one MfE account. The question then is, how do I keep my Google hosted contact data whilst also accessing my work email etc...

Any thoughts? Am I missing something blindingly obvious or is it just one of the limitations of Belle? I know that WP8 allows multiple MfE accounts.

Having done some additional research, it seems that the Microsoft Apps enables multiple ActiveSync accounts to be created. Is this the case and the workaround for the single account limitation of Nokia Belle out of the box?

Here's hoping.

Very good, very thanks for your message are looking forward to your update again
