So so tempted by an iPhone to replace my aging Palm Pilot/BlackBerry combination. Apart from the sync issue the other thing that has stopped me is I occasionally have to enter data. I use a Bluetooth Keyboard for the Palm Pilot and save it a word file on an SD card One the iPhone can do that -I’m in

Well, as darn cool the iphone might be, it might remain my weekend toy. For business support it offers a few interesting features, but for a road warrior or email junky like me, it is not user-friendly enough. Typing email is not working fine, in addition, one-hand usage is impossible, iphone with out a protection cover slips too quickly out of the shirt/suite.

In addition, the battery life time is ridiculous. a bit of wland and bluetooth and you are done with a few hours (never keeping a day).

It might change as the new bb service will be supported, but a speech-2-text functionality would be ideal.

The new bb versions (curve) i am testing i am happy with, small, easy of use and longterm battery. In addition it offers me a functionality with PGI so i can print my email attachments to any fax immediately.

My company uses the same technology as yours does.

I had to replace my SmartPhone a couple of weeks ago and was having a hard time deciding on what I wanted.

My AT&T rep told me to just pick something serviceable, because the iPhone would be using my technology in a month or two.

You say June and I can live with that, because I WILL have an iPhone as soon as they work with our servers.

Thanks for the good news.
