I see that the new Iphone is about to be released (3GS) and I really hear nothing but great things about it...

I wanted to hear some opinions from people on this site who own the phone. I know it has a lot of apps and cool gimmicky stuff but how good is it as a work phone, with email, would it be good for corporate use...

It seems that the blackberry's have the corporate world down but I dislike most everything else with the blackberry. Just doesn't make me excited.

I am a Palm Treo guy, recently updated to the Palm Pre but have always considered the Iphone. My main drawback is that I do not like AT&T's phone/data plans.

I just wanted some info on what people thought about the Iphone...their experiences

It is AWESOME for E-Mail with touch notification and Apple's famous user-friendly interfaces. Everything is clearly displayed on the screen and E-Mail can be link easily with the other applications (especially with the new OS that is FREE to all former iPhone owners. The only drawback is that the ear piece on the phone is not as loud as some other phones when talking to others. It is common knowledge that it is THE BEST option for corporate use. Blackberry has a reputation and is well respected throughout the business world (my brother won't give up on it) but it has been surpassed.
BTW- Those apps are not gimmicks at all. . . there are 100s of VERY USEFUL apps for businesses of all types.
Do you have any DIRECT questions about the phone or it's new OS/new model?

how hard is it to set up different email accounts?

Are you able to sync it with a computer?

As far as phone calls go do you get reception everywhere? A lot of dropped calls?

What kind of plan do you have?

I don't think that all of the apps are gimmicks, I actually like them because I like to play with my phone also.

I have never really been a blackberry guy mainly Palm Treos which I love.

1. It takes about 2 minutes to do a set up (one time) of E-Mail accounts. . . you can do as many as you want.
2. You can sync it with your computer through iTunes. You decide before hand what it will sync/add or subtract so it is really quick to manage your stuff. I use a Mac for my syncing so I don't know about your pictures but I know it manages your apps, calender (through MS software) music, Email etc seemlessly and in seconds.
3. I use the basic plan. Internet is free and fast for about $80 after tax.
4. More games than any phone that EVER existed. . . they even get IGN reviews. BTW- I have an app that syncs my phone instantly with IGN.com's reviews. . . they are listed neatly (every console's) and IGN even has short versions in case you don't want to read the whole thing.
You can't beat Visual Voice Mail. LMAO!!!

APPRECIATE THE INFO

The iphone is great. Best phone out there. But, the pricing for the 3Gs applies to new customers only.

Current iPhone users are screwed to pay full price $600 (or wait for the contract renewal). Before, they allowed
Iphone users to immediately get the subsidized price to upgrade to the current 3G.

In that respect I feel Apple/ATT&T are raping their loyal customers.

This user is completely without Sig... Sigless. Not at all Siggy wit' it. This is an ex-Sig.

it is like that with mostly all companies, all though some offer deals to upgrade.

I just bought the Palm Pre and was fortunate that its release lined up with my contract expiring so I got some really good deals to upgrade but had to get a new 2 yr contract.

It helps to call and see if anything is offered

1. Actually, there is no "NEW 3G." The 3G network is the same. . . it is just a new model with better parts.
2. How is Apple "RAPING" customers? I recently (kind of) bought an iPhone (the now old model) and although I am a little upset, recognize that every company is going to upgrade their tech. I also, realize that Apple GIVING me a new phone or trading in millions of old phones is really not feasible. LMAO!!!
3. A new OS with most of the new models features is available TO EVERY iPHONE USER free of charge. All you have to do is plug your phone in and download it.
4. The difference between this upgrade and the last is the network it runs on, which is much more substantial to the functions than the current upgrade. That is why they are still selling the last 3G model.

They also LOWERED the price. The new model 16 GB version is the same price as the last model's 8 GB model was.
