So adding a contact number in OS3.0 has an 'iphone' labeling option ......

im on 3.0 but dont have this label...

If you are using Exchange to sync your contacts, the server may not allow you to label a number with the iPhone tag, or any other non-standard label.

When I first noticed that I meant to come to the forums to ask the same question and just completely forgot. There has to be some reason for having a seperate category from iPhone and cell phone. I really hope they come out with a BBM type service.

Same here. When I first saw it I wondered what it was for and then completely forgot about it until now...something like BBM would be great.

Ahah! Makes sense although I'm using google sync...

It's so that in case you forget that you can't send a picture message, you know who you can't send one to if you actually could.

"iPhone" Label in contacts disappeared

I lost my "iPhone" label in Contacts after setting up my exchange mail account on my 3GS. I couldn't figure out why this had happened, until I saw your post. My contacts were configured to sync through my exchange account. As soon as I turned that off, my problem was solved. Thanks!

a friend of mine just got her iphone yesterday and sent me a txt message with the new phone number (she had move states etc etc).. when I went to update her contact record the number type defaulted to iphone... i had her previous number set up as a mobile. hmmmm.

Maybe Apple/ATT include something extra with the iphone to iphone texts or something? It doesn't really add any value at the moment and labeling a number as iphone or not iphone doesn't help much later as tagging a number as such for some mystery app doesn't help either, users will miss tag numbers anyway so relying on that doesnt work.
