I have a 3G 8GB iPhone and it's been great.... but I pretty much only use it as a personal phone. I do have an exchange email account setup for work, but I have most of the features disabled because if you sync an exchange calendar, it disables syncing with your own personal calendars and I don't want to sync all the contacts because it sucks down all of the contacts on your Global Address List and that's just crazy.
Overall, I would say it's a great consumer smart phone and it does have some enterprise level features, but I think it's still got a long way to go to unseat Blackberry as the enterprise champion. If I had been planning on using my phone more for work purposes, I probably would have gone with a Blackberry. As far as AT&T coverage, I've been very happy with the reception. Driving around NH, I've gotten very good signals pretty much everywhere I've gone (though I haven't been out in the boonies much). I only get 3G coverage when I go to work (in Lowell, MA) and there is absolutely no 3G coverage anywhere in NH yet. Their EDGE network is pretty good as far as reliability for me so far, but it is pretty slow. However, being able to get internet access pretty much anywhere I have a signal trumps the fact that it's slow. The applications store is just plain awesome. There is a ton of good free content available and managing it is pretty simple. So, I'm very happy with it, but as for your needs, it depends a lot on what you're going to try to use it for. - Chris On Mon, Aug 4, 2008 at 12:32 PM, Warren Luebkeman <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Does anyone on the list have an iPhone?
