Nope syncs fully with outlook just fine no issues contacts and calendar and the email works great if you can find a free wireless area.

If you were getting a phone too I would recommend the Iphone unless it was for business then I think that blackberry is still the way to go.

I use my Ipod Touch to manage my days almost exclusively if I wasn't tied to my contract I would probably switch my blackberry and go with an Iphone.

That right there is part of the problem. From talking to my friends who all have different companies, Verizon is the best signal in this part of town. I also have about a year and a half left on a 2 year contract, so I can't leave them without paying a penalty.

We killed off the land line, so having a reliable mobile phone is very important to me.

Not to get into a big debate but there are issues with iPhones/touches syncing to outlook, security being just one of many. (or should I say lack of)

I am our firms mobile device admin, in charge of supporting over 300 devices. So I kind of have an insight into them. The only thing I havent had lots of time with is the new Adroid 2.0 OS.

As for verizon, I dont see how they can force you to change your plan. Just tell them you dont want any mobile data. You could probably buy a device online and just call them to switch the esn. They just want more money... thats one reason I hate verizon. With TMO or ATT you could just swap your sim card and the carrier doesnt have to know.

Yup I would agree if we are talking a work related device that is connected to a network. My assumption is that it is a personal use device that would be directly connected to a home PC.

But I would not profess to be a security expert in the least.
