Why did the reviewers say you couldn't have both Exchange and Mobile Me Calendars and Contacts on the iPhone ?

I've just tried and I can see data from both accounts !
 
did you have to do anything special to set it up?
I'm tempted but worried my home contacts and calendars will suddenly get swamped with the work ones
 
No - it seems to keep the data separate so it doesn't merge the data.

Go to admit the way it is working is great ! as I now have all of my work information and personal information on the iPhone.

The only thing I did do was set-up Exchange first and then added Mobile Me.

I must be missing something though - as why would the reviewers say this isn't possible :confused:
 
How does it display the contacts? All in one list or does it give you the option to filter by (say) work or personal?

I read this and took the risk (mobileme syncing wasn't working from Outlook) and it works!!
 
If you create a contact or calendar event, where does it go? Can you choose on the fly or is it set to one of them?

Do you have a data plan to access exchange?
 
Do you have to have the enterprise data plan to use the exchange feature in 2.0??? I thought thats what I heard. For AT&T at least.

You can view 'All Contacts' or just the contacts for the account you want to view (i.e. Exchange or MobileMe)

You choose when you create the appointment. However, I can't see an option to choose when you create a contact..
