All these people post supposed "problems" as if it is impossible to deal with them, whereas quite often there are workarounds, maybe not perfect but they get the job done.

Plug into iTunes > restore does the same thing BUT as you left all your emails on the server the legal requirements are fulfilled.
Thanks for the suggestion, I appreciate your assistance. I've looked into this in detail already (page 109).
The problem here is that this command erases all content. The Blackberry Delete Prior command should be emulated here. Pick a date & delete everything previous to that date... very handy! What if you want to erase all old email except those received during the past 2 days? That's pretty typical business travel behavior.
This is more of a workaround than a solution. There should be a true path for this function, a real feature set.
iPhone is a great instrument, it's why I use it. But it's still very young and needs quite a bit of polishing.

"Oh, I do not have as much money, I better go buy an iPhone instead of that Nokia I always wanted".
Truly speaking, Apple aren't chicken. Marketing is their virtue. iPhone sales prove that. They (contracted carriers) gave it out for 79 eur, when it was necessary. There is huge crowd of iPhone users here in Europe.
No, the choice is not that evident at all, if it comes to Nokia's phones vs. iPhone at 79 eur.

One reason Nokia are losing sales is their bizarre determination to compete with themselves. The N96 was barely out of the womb, when some idiot pre-announced the N97.
What
were
they
thinking?
They effectively killed-off the N96 in order to pre-announce another handset that was more than six months away from shipping.
Generally I look past them and go to their sources and use (In the words of Bush) The Google to try and get more info if possible.
I'd prefer Gartner. They say Nokia's champion, too. But nobody knows what's going on with 5800. It sells, surely, that's obvious, but local observations don't reveal it beats iPhone...

Uber true. The N96 should have never left the drawing board. It was a year too late at best.
Bragging that Nokia sold the most music devices in the UK is a bit of a hollow victory now that we know Apple sold 14.8 million iPod/iPhones worldwide.

You waited 2 days to respond to this? Do you have some sort of alert when I post so that you can troll me down and post behind something that I post? In the scheme of things it really has to suck being you. I remember the days when TBaggins used to pop in just set you straight. Those were the days.
Anyway with regard to Nokia being the #1 seller in the UK for their phone it obviously proves that not everyone (as I have said all along) is dying to have an iPhone. These same people that made Nokia #1 could have easily purchased an iPhone and they didn't. The same trend will continue. Apple will gain and lose market share as will Nokia, and the rest, but in the end the current market positions will stay the same. Nokia on top, with the other guys (most likely LG or Samsung) next and Apple pulling in a strong third.
P.S. I see you didn't bother to comment on this so called ban that you mentioned. Did you check it out or is this just another case of you talking about something you know very little?
Stop annoying me and maybe a change of residence (living in Steve Jobs pants) is order.
While there's no reason to expect that Apple will be number one in smartphones (I wish I didn't have to keep mentioning smartphones when I talk about numbers, but if I don't, someone will think I mean in ALL phones), it's possible. But I'm not so certain that Nokia will maintain their number one position either, though that's also possible.
It's possible that RIM will take over the number one spot with Nokia second, and Apple third. Or perhaps, RIM will be number one, Apple number two, and Nokia third.
We won't know how this will play out for at least another year or so, and even then, it will likely change sometime after.

Hi Melgross,
You might have a point, but when I speak I am speaking in general about global markets, not US. I do not see RIM as being globally ahead of Nokia but I do believe that golbally Apple could have a good shot at being #2. Samsung and LG have some nice phones out. Luckily I get to play with many of them or I can even go to a shop and see them first hand. I would say that Nokia's competition comes from them rather than Apple. Either way, Apple will be releasing something very soon as will Nokia with the N97 (the 5800XM was to software tuning for the N97), and LG, as well as Samsung. I think at this stage of the game we can count SE and Motorola out. However there is Android. Things might shape up nicely for consumers. Either way, I am quite sure I will have a new iPhone as well as a new Nokia.

You know how it is when you've read an article but can't find it again even after you've bookmarked it? Well, this time I'm finding articles for our little discussion though I wasn't even looking for them!
So who knows, it might be Apple and Nokia after all!

I have sent to Apple & posted on the iPhone Dev forums.
I wish an enterprising developer would write an app called "Delete Prior Email."
