Good to know! One more reason for me to get an iPhone ;)
I have the old iPhone and once I updated the software to version 2.0, I was able to get active exchange working just fine. I now get email, contacts and calendar synced automatically.
John - thanks for that valuable tidbit. I was not aware that they had it available through a software update. I guess the only real compelling reason to upgrade the device is for faster 3G data on it.
This is great news. Now all I have to do is let the Verizon contract on my Mororola Q run out and toodle on down to the AT&T store.
I wonder if anyone has has signal strength issues with AT&T. Synching is important and signal availability is important, too. (I realize this may be a bit off topic).
Ken - in my experience signal strength is a factor of the device itself and the carrier. I personally have AT&T and my home is in a tough area signal strength wise. My wife has the Motorola Razor and I have the Blackjack II and we are both on AT&T. Her phone gets much better reception than mine in our house. As a general rule the PDA phones seem to have worse reception that standard flip phones. With respect to carrier coverage this can vary some. You could have Verizon and travel the same area all the time. What happens is you get use to where the deadspots are..then you switch to another carrier and they could have very similiar coverage but the dead spots are in other areas.. so the perception is that the service might be worse. These days the big carriers have solid voice and data coverage so if you can I would reccommend asking people in your area that have AT&T how they like the service. If you can get a rep to give you an iPhone to try for a few days that is the best option. Make sure to try it at your home and your office first as these are the two places you will definately want good coverage. If you see someone with an iPhone stop them and ask them about the coverage. The best place to find PDA lovers is the airport these days.. they are literally everywhere so if you have any travel plans just remember to strike up a conversation with all those people in the airport excercising their fingers on their iPhones.
Its not very fast you got that i am sure dont please not yhes i ham
