The software updates are free, and are installed via iTunes. The whole process took around 45 minutes when I didmine.

I think the iphone is great - I am sat here at victoria park, southport, preparing for the national and replying onoople with mine. There are things it doesn't do without jail breaking that other phones do, but the only people who point those out don't have an iPhone but usually want one!!!!

You dont have to jail break them now, with 3.0 you get an option to use your iphone as a modem

Apparently you can still jailbreak the iPhone, but it has nothing to do with using it as a modem/Internet connection for your laptop, it is more to do with enabling video recording ant camera zooms. However, I think there are now apps that enable both those things anyway. I don't know for sure as I don't video stuff on the iPhone and the photos it takes are perfectly good enough for what I want.

The video off the phone is crap to be honest, from what i've seen on my mates Jailbroken phone. Best thing in my opinion is that it allows you to make skype calls over the 3G, which seeing as i have family in america is a huge bonus. But i'd still wait for the warranty to run out before you do it!

I'm looking at a 3G / 3Gs for Vodafone. So I'll have to jail break it from what I understand.

Use a Palm Treo Pro at the mo, mainly to connect to MS Exchange

How good is the Exchange connectivity with the iPhone?

I gave my iphone to one of our IT guys when I started working here, within 2 mins I was getting mail from our server using Exchange ActiveSync, been working perfectly ever since which is about a year ago now :-)

You just put the exchange server name in and your username and password.

How does it connect? HTTPS? Is it push based?

Exchange connectivity is critical. That's the sole reason I'm still on MS Phones.

What about the GAL?

Can you have more than one email account set-up? I.e. a POP3 / IMAP account etc?

Cool.. time to ebay my Palm Treo Pro!

My only other concern is the keyboard. I've got a nice qwerty keyboard on the Palm that enables me to type very quickly.

Not confinced at times with fat finger touch screen devices (not that I'm fat!)

Just having a play, you can only have 1 exchange account set up at a time.

No mention of HTTPS on the exchange settings, although it could be doing that in the background I guess?

Hope so as I want it secure (as email can be).. Even though I work with HTTPS inspection devices and we're advised not to do banking on our network due to the way they do a man in the middle inspection attack. ... Eeek

Think I'll head into the Apple store in Southampton and ask them. Thing I do prefer about MS phone devices is that you can do a remote wipe if they get lost (need Exchange etc.).

Fat finger syndrome, in my experience the typing speed is really quick on iphone, though you can easily get errors....but....the predicitive text is really good at picking it up, and I find that I'm so slow typing on small keyboards that the extra speed of the touch screen makes up for time lost with spelling errors!

Though I have to say I think it's probably personal preference, may not suit everyone, but suits me just fine.
