would love any thoughts advice on how to proceed:
i work in an office that runs exchange. they are hostile to macs in IT, for no good reason, but i'm not the CIO, so....
I run an MBP at home and use it for work regularly. I run entourage, and am not worried about tasks and notes, since I use basecamp for this anyway.
i have a 1.1.1 iphone all locked up for now, though i still haven't decided whether or not to unlock it to use while in canada next month (i'll be there for 2 weeks, then again in jan for a week, then in feb for a week). therefore i'm mildly open to third party solutions
the fundamental question is this: i have contacts on my exchange server AND in my address book at home. there is some minor overlap, but only because i happen to work with some of my friends. that is, my apple address book is my personal set of contacts, and my exchange contacts are professional.
i'm about to be on the road for 6+ months - and i don't know of/can't find a straightforward way to have two sets of contacts in my phone. my exchange contacts are "dirtier" than my address book ones and i'm not terribly inclined to dirty up my personal set.
is there a way to keep two sets of contacts on my iphone? is there a way to easily browse my exchange contacts with my iphone? should i just give in and merge my contacts, dirt and all?
i appreciate, in advance, any thoughts, suggestions, or ideas you might have.
