Hi all, long time BlackBerry guy here. I'm eligible for an upgrade and I think I want to try an iPhone.
I am on BES at work and my company does support iPhone. I'm not a super heavy user but I do my fair share, I need my remote email device to be reliable and user friendly. So I have a couple of questions about email on the iPhone.
1 - Do items sent from your PC sync to your phone like they do with BES?
2 - When a message is filed away in Outlook what happens to it on the iPhone? Does it stay in the main list or are folders supported?
3 - I know iPhone supports push but is it as instant as BES? Sometimes my BlackBerry alerts me before my PC does.
4 - How is the calendar and contact sync? Its pretty instant on BES. Is it as good on iPhone?
5 - Personal email - I use Yahoo! for my personal email. Is that also two way sync like it is for BIS? If I open, delete or file away on my PC will the email show as read or gone if deleted or filed?
I have read a few blogs and such about ActiveSync but wanted to get some real time input from users. If something similar has been posted please point me in the right direction, same if you have a really good article link.
Thanks! Hope to get some helpful responses soon. ...And maybe an iPhone
