It almost sounds like HSBC is oblivious to the instability that plagues MobileMe.
Why should they care? It has nothing to do with Exchange which has been working very well.

Damn. That means we'll have to find a nickname for the iPhone that's as good as Crackberry
iPium? iPhetamine? Someone help me out here...
If you worked in a large firm and needed to tell 100 employees something, Push email is the best, quickest and cheapest way.

Someone a bit higher up asked if anyone worked for an IT department. I do. I have one word for you all: robustness. When it's someone's own money, they treat the device well and take care of it and pay attention to potential risks. When it's an allocated corporate device, noticably less care is taken because they can just get a new one if their's one breaks.
When I drop my employer's Blackberry Curve it bounces. I know because I have and it does. If it does break, I'll get a hotswap from central IS and no questions asked. Now, if I dropped my iPhone 3G, the screen would almost certainly crack, I'd cry a little bit, and then I'd have to pony up my own money for a new one. So I'm going to take a lot more care with my iPhone than my Blackberry. Can you imagine what the breakage rate will be on corporate iPhones? it'll be horrendous, they're simply not built for that environment. A simple calculation of replacement unit volumes will nix any migration business case.
It's nick name was the "Jesus Phone" in the past. It was a major change to the industry. The most famous phone ever made.
Whie Apple has not released official sales numbers for the iPhone 3G beyond the first weekend, analysts are predicting that Apple will sell at least 4.47 million iPhones this quarter. This estimate reportedly doesn't take into account Apple's international iPhone in 22 additional countries later this month.
After watching this, it would appear that the iPhone 3g can handle itself very well. I have dropped my original iPhone several times - a good case will make it almost indestructable.
I'm still not convinced, I'm afraid. Quite impressive washing it off, but not recommended! Five drops onto a pavement killed the 3G. This is quite predictable levels of drops over, say, a six month period in a city environment. The problem is the glass screen. It's never going to take the punishment that a plastic screen can withstand. I stand by my original reservations.
HSBC is indeed a very large corporation.
To that end, I was wondering why MacRumors felt they needed to put quotes around the word "giant" in the article? It's kind of rude given the context.
Just because a bank is relatively unknown in the USA doesn't mean it isn't one of the largest most important banks on the planet you know.![]()
Blackberry's have tempered glass screens too, actually. Just the body is plastic.
I disagree. My Blackberry is super user friendly. And the iPhone will not become standard any time soon. Blackberrys are just too good for email. The iPhone can't get it shizz straight, and the Blackberry has been tried and true for years
Just a couple things...
1)you can move messages to different folders(under the edit menu)
2)why would u need numerous accounts for a WORK phone?
3)my messages are never deleted until i delete them off the server(so why would i want them to take up space on my phone too?)
4)the iphone does have true push service, through the exchange server
5)a lot of your other "missing features" are simple changes. (i agree on the lack of copy & paste-shouldve been in 1.0.0)

That isn't my experience. I will never touch a Blackberry again.
I couldn't even type in the email address when I tried to create an email. You must have had a real keyboard. I would mess up and press the wrong key and have to keep starting over again. It is like emailing with a tweezers, a paper clip, and a ball of string. The most user unfriendly email client ever. Also if I had 200 emails and had to look at a email from 4 days ago, I would have the scroll endlessly to get to it. It was a pain to even use it as a email browser.
They must have copied the iPhone since last year's phone model so email is a pleasure.
