Many folks here at our company use blackberries and seem to like them. We have AT&T and it seems to work well enough, and I have AT&T for my own personal phone (Motorola Razr V3). New phones are sometimes like new cars; it's best to wait a while for the bugs to get worked out. I waited until the Razr had been out for a year before I got one, and by the time I did all the bugs were worked out of the design. I've had no problems with mine at all. If it were me, I'd wait a while on the iPhone until it's a bit more perfected.

Have you been able to sync your iphone with just the "contacts and calendar" from MS Outlook ?

On another note, I'm the IT guy for my company and I cannot articulate how much I purely despise Outlook. Where I work, folks who are going to be away from their computers just shutdown Outlook on their computers so that the email comes to their phones instead of their PCs. My experience is that synching anything with Outlook almost always results in near total disaster. Outlook is one of the most fragile pieces of commercial software on the market.

I agree with your thought of not buying a VER 1.0 because of all the design screw ups. Apple is probably the only company I would buy a first release product from because their design process is very very good. Even then the next version of the IPhone has got to be better.

Agree with your take on Outlook as well. Other than MS Office (which was originally designed for the Mac), pretty all of Microsoft’s products are inherently and permanently flawed
