I was kinda hoping that you could have try-before-you-buy apps using this method...

ie: Release a 'free' app (with limited functionality, one level, etc.), and introduce full features if you decide to pay for them.

Activesync allows for the synching of specific folders (so you could set it up to sync everything except the 'SCCS' folder in your case). You don't need this feature naturally, as you keep everything important in your inbox. I on the other hand (as do many Exchange users), keep only unsorted things in my inbox, and have subfolders for my organized important stuff.

Also, you can add to my list, the ability to:

5. Add a calendar invite from the phone.
6. Set calendar categories.
7. Set message flags/categories.
8. Server side searching.

I agree... iPhone's implementation of Activesync is abysmal... In addition to points 1 and 2 above, with the the iPhone you cannot: 3. Specify the time you want to receive incomming emails (or do you enjoy receiving spam at 3 in the morning) 4. Perform off-line synching of email (you must be connected to the exchange server to delete a message) If you've ever used a MS mobile OS (such as Windows Mobile 5 and up), you'd understand how much better the iPhone could be for 'real' enterprise level communication.

Comment No Service (Score 1) 298

I've had mine for about 2 weeks now. Today was the 4th time my phone would go into 'No Service' mode. A restore doesn't help, and the phone will spontaneously re-connect to the network after a few hours/days of being down. I've just set up an appointment with my local Apple store for them to look at it (and hopefully replace this lemon). As an 'upgrade' to a Treo 700w, I'm starting to regret my purchase (Not only do I get these downtime issues, but their current Activesync/Exchange implementation is atrocious (compared to the WM platform).
