In the areas I go through - NY, NJ, Westchester, Connecticut - I've had excellent service from AT&T. In fact, I had to drive out all the way to Western Maryland (near the WVa, PA, MD borders) and had great service all the way; I even had EDGE co…

It's been mentioned that Apple is working on Blackberry-style integration, but this is probably a few months out (at least). Frankly, I'm not sure I want full email integration like that until Apple deals with being able to delete multiple emails at…

Are we seriously at the point where Congress has nothing better to do than worry about baseball, the Sirius/XM merger and the iPhone? Really? Is that what's important to our Congress now? Last I checked, we have a war running in Iraq and Afghanistan…

...but seeing an iPhone 2 in the US in December seems a bit of a reach - unless Apple plans some trade-up program. --DotComCTO

It's not a business phone. The iPhone only supports push e-mail through Yahoo. The literature says it supports Exchange via IMAP (and POP3), but I presume this is through "pull" not "push"; there's no mention of Exchange Direct Push (Push IMAP). May…
