Instant Business

Sometimes I need a business account to download cool pdf files containing tips, hacks, and tricks. A site in England comes to mind. Enter "Business Me" (at) me dot com.
 
I initially bought mobile me for me.com and to use as my email on the phone, because it was "push". But when I realized I couldn't permanently set a different email address on the device (like you can on me.com) I went back to my regular email. I use it only for "find my phone" now.
 
I bought Mobile Me mainly cause I like paying at once for the whole year vs when I used to pay monthly for exchange. Plus the online storage & gallery.

It's basically just integrated the best with the iPhone.

I tried Gmail at first, cause it's free. But it wouldn't sync the photos attached to my contacts. You would have to manually attach photos to the contacts again thru Gmail in order to sync correctly. I have too many contacts to go thru that and don't have most of the original pics that are attached anymore.

Also Mobile Me sync flawless with my PC and MS Outlook.
