Dear all, I am considering buying an iPhone 4 in the next days/weeks.

For info, I am not willing to wait September: I intend to use the phone intensively in the next months; currently I only have a small "dumb phone".

There are a few things I would like to have clarified:

1) Instant messaging / chat

Do I get notification of Facebook updates? New emails? New chat (Google account)? Or do I need to open an application for each to see if something arrived?

Can I leave this application running? will people see me online?

2) email

Can I add several email accounts? (gmail) to the mail application on the iPhone?

3) calendars
On my Mac, I have my main calendars in iCal, but I also can see ("delegates") the google calendars of my colleagues. In iCal, this long list of calendars is nice to have: I can easily toggle the display, change the color, etc.
Is this possible on the calendar of the iPhone?

4) Skype
When at home, on my wireless, can I use Skype or Google Audio/Video chat on the iPhone?

Thanks a lot!

Olivier.
