Since I am executive with a small company, and am the defacto IT Overlord, I don't need to "sell" this too anyone. I am looking at switching our mobile service to AT&T from the company that begins with a "V" and ends with "erizon", this will be the first test in that migration. Personally, I am coming from a BB 8830 which is boring, but works when and how I need it to. ActiveSync is the prime feature that I am looking to test, and what kept me from buying the first generation iPhone.</p> I have exchange and plan on using the iPhone 3G goodness with it.
