Lots and lots to choose.

Glad there are so many choices.

Me? Love my iPhone4. Love my MacBook and will never own a PC again. Love my iPods. Love my Apple TV and Airport Extreme. Love my iPad2.
Well, I am just a "loving" guy I guess.

and we have mondays beacon of reality award.

I love my ipod, macbook, and macbook pro. Just hate the iphone that I have. I'd love it as an ipod touch.

Re: not doing my research bit me in the butt

Some people may be fanatics about one brand of cigars yet not like a particular line or vitola.
Different strokes for different folks.
Again, feel lucky there are so, so many choices.

Re: not doing my research bit me in the butt

I'll agree with previous posters when they say "To each, their own". I've had my iPhone 4 since August last year, and still love it. I've had no reception issues (other than in my seemingly lead lined office, wheere nothing seems to get reception), and have not had call dropping issues like many others have. I've taken a ton of great pictures with it (including all the vacation pictures on my facebook page from Greece), and use the other functions of it almost daily. Got a few apps that work well for me, too.

I also have had great luck with other Apple products, as well. A couple years ago, we bought a used Mac off a friend who had upgraded (this was a business machine, and he's in medical animation), and it's still working SMOOTHLY with nary a hiccup. We also have a MacBook that the wife got a couple years ago that still screams along very smoothly. The PC based machines we've had have been collecting dust while we use the other Macs a LOT more. We'll have to replace them less often than we would the PCs, and not have to add on all the antivirus/spykiller/etc. software that it seems is necessary with PCs (Yes, I do know that Macs are vulnerable, as well). That is one thing that I think makes Macs woth the cost for me, is the seemingly longer life on them.

Everyone in the family (kids and grandpa, included) has iPods, and are happy with them, and the wifey and I just got an iPad 2, as well. My iPod is a staple for me...in the car, at the office, while running or biking, travelling, etc.

Obviously, not everyone likes their products (and same may want a plane to drop on Steve Jobs head), but they work well for what we need them to, and everyone in our family finds them easy to use. I'm not going to say that everyone should use them, but just give different products a try and see if they work for you (and this applies to just about anything of significance that you may purchase, too).

Kevin, I got my iphone 3G from work, so our IT guys set it up for me, but mine is configured to have all my Outlook mail from my work servers pushed to the phone, so it does allow that. It's in Settings > Mail/Contacts/Calendar > Accounts, and > Fetch New Data. Not sure I'm guessing the 3GS is still the same?

Re: not doing my research bit me in the butt

I have the iPhone4 and very happy with it, but like so many things its all boils down to personal preference.

I have GMail and my work e-mail set up through exchange accounts and my work e-mail definately pushes. I'm pretty sure GMail does too now. In fact several times I get it on my phone before the web version sees it.

I'd suggest comparing a new MacBook to a new Dell. Your opinion may change.

Re: not doing my research bit me in the butt

Love my 3gs. I am now waiting on the 5. Skipped the four.

Black Berry is a much better choice. Iphone is all hype with a BIG price tag

So true, and apparently they are dangerous to your health also.

And to think all those millions of idiots willing to stand in line for hours to upgrade their existing one to a newer version (myself included).
I guess we can't tell hype when we see it.:rolleyes:

Re: not doing my research bit me in the butt

now that i'm not raging at the phone I want to say this. It's not that i didn't like the device as an entertainment device, i didn't like it as a phone. as an ipod touch it'd have been awesome but going from a bb to the iphone was a bit of a shock. If you like the iphone i can see why, if you don't I can see why, and in two years when the 4 goes on sale for $50 I'll give it a shot and then I'll probably go back to the BB curve...which is what i swapped it out for....I want to like the iphone I do...but the 3gs isn't for me
