Finally got an iPhone. I love it. Jailbroken too. It is really cool that the package management for all those non-AppStore apps is based on apt. I installed a terminal and can even do stuff like ‘apt-get update’ from the commandline. Right at home for me.
It was also a saving grace for me since my work email quit working correctly on my old Palm T|X (with VersaMail 3.5+). I had to downgrade VersaMail back to 3.1 in order to receive mail again, and that version is really bad since contacts and such doesn’t sync that way. I have to say that the contacts management is huge with the iPhone. I now have my Google Contacts, iPhone, AddessBook (in OSX), and Outlook (work) contacts all in sync. That was painful before. It apparently can sync with yahoo too, but I don’t use yahoo anymore, so I haven’t tried that.
