My wife and I are getting 2 iPhones next week. I was wondering if the following is psssible through a family mobile me subscription:

Individual:
email and contacts

Shared:
family email and calendar

I know the individual part is possible, but I was wondering if you can get the theoretical push email and calendar info of a shared account as well as our individual accounts.

TIA,
mondo

You absolutely can have multiple email accounts on the phone - as many as you want - so you could both share a family email. If it's a POP account, you'll each get all the emails. If it's an IMAP account, though, be aware that you'll each influence what the other gets (i.e., if you delete an email, it'll be deleted on her account as well).

I think it's possible in theory to share a calendar as well (you can have multiple calendars synched), but I've just never done that.
