The iPhone has a ways to go to play in this arena, know ?

Obvious bias: I have an iPhone (Bought i got frustrated and pissed of
at my first gen HTC Diamond)

Basic sync functionality on the iPhone works OK - ActiveSync can sync
Mail, Contacts and Calendar to your Exchange server. It works.

The problem with the iPhone is everything else. To upgrade firmware,
you need iTunes installed. iTunes hates you. It's not as the software
or user interface is bad, it's that it brings a ton of services,
Quicktime bullshit and more crap to your system.

It also doesn't support any kind of central management, is
incompatible with any other software out there, etc. pp.

The iPhone is okay for smaller companies with no regulated IT or with
highly trained technical personnel that care for their own computers
and mobile phones. For everything else, it's completely unsuitable.

I wouldn't recommend using iPhones in a Business in general, but there
are some cases where it's good enough. For home users though, i think
it's the ideal smartphone to get.
