Move off that POS known as Exchange. The alternatives are more scalable, more reliable and more flexible. Exchange is truly garbage.

I'm sure that will be addressed when the apps come in the new year.

So does Verizon, despite their marketing. I've got both - Verizon for work and AT&T for personal use. AT&T is much better.
There are plenty using their iPhones in their business. In fact those that chose the non-Microsoft path generally have an easier time adapting to new non-MS technologies. It's not Apples (or any other company's) that you choose the locked-in MS path. |

It's kind of obvious that you don't work in the business world, or have any idea how it functions (like the majority of the people on these forums).
Do you have any idea how hard it is to get technology changed at a large company? If you're just a normal employee it is pretty much impossible, and just about the same if you are management.
Grow up and learn how the real world works. We know Exchange/Microsoft sucks but we're still stuck with their products because of something called "business process." |

Ok so wait, you want me to get off exchange ?
Even as the system admin for this top fortune 100 company , we have standard services that are used for a reason. Ever try to work with people who use open office ? They just don't mess well together and the same is said for email.
We have workers who check their email from web forms from outlook and from other exchange capable devices. The open services don't play well with blackberries. They also don't work as well as exchange when you have to cluster 60 to 80 boxes together to drive a company like this. Also let me know when you have users all over the world who hit the email servers.
Also let me know when those open source programs get the approval of the us government and the approval of every other government where we have campuses. Because then we can shift to that platform and save a whole lot of money.
Even as a sys admin who often writes code for opensolaris and even linux when I need to , I can't get away from exchange and we even have lotus notes servers as well. Which the iphone doesn't like either. You see open source works for small companies but not for the big guys who need to work with many government entities and follow their rules. And that is not changing anytime soon.

Again, ditch the POS known as Exchange and Outlook. The most amusing thing of all is that it syncs just fine with Outlook. It's idiot Windows users who have no bloody clue what they're doing or what "Unicode" means that cause everything to screw up.

| Dude , I gotta better things to do with my time at work then sit here trying to play with settings to get the iphone to synch with my work pc.
It would synch fine at home but work with security policies it fails.
Rather unique , why not have it just work ? Like all thier ads say about the rest of thier stuff ? Ahh that is right we need to excuse that.
My Q synchs with any outlook I use , great for pulling contacts off my managers and co workers outlook boxes in a snap.
