I am trying to convince my Boss to get the 3g Iphone as a replacement phone / PDA, but our IT system is very secure and will not allow Itunes to be loaded onto our desktop pc's. My question is, can I just sync my outlook calender, contacts and to do lists with active sync through a usb like a windows PDA without itunes like I currently do with my smartphone. Our IT will not approve wireless syncing, push email etc with exchange nor downloading Itunes on our systems.

Please help.

You're toast. If you can't sync OTA (best, most up-to-date option) then you have to go through iTunes at this point.

I'm glad I've always worked at places where the IT guys were interested in helping you get the tools you need to do your job working instead of automatically saying no.
