I went into Leopard OS Preferences/Mobile Me and re Sync'd from there. As Mobile Me doesn't work with Subscribed Calendars I only turned on the Contacts,Mail and Bookmarks on the iPhone. Following the Set up steps #2 & #3 are important. It worked I hope it stays working!</p> Syncing Contacts has been a pain as it didn’t seem to want to update from my Address Book.

I feel they should just include a “me.com” account with the phone. That would be ideal for me and I’m sure others would like that too.

For that I get 3GB storage, Outlook Web Access and the full Outlook client if I need it. At the moment it's superior in functionality to MobileMe and it works faultlessly on the iPhone.</p> I do my syncing via hosted Exchange with Sherweb for $8.99 / month.

Glad I kept my BlackBerry for work purposes otherwise my boss would be pissed for the amount of emails I would be missing. :-(</p> MobileMe is not worth it – I wouldn’t trust it since it can even get Yahoo! mail push email working correctly, so why would I pay for a service that only works when it feels like it.

In my case, I waited for a few weeks and then last week set up my home and work computers and my iPod Touch. Sorry to report but I have had no problems. Very slick set-up.</p> Honestly, I sympathise with all those who have had issues with MobileMe.

In the last month or so of using it, I had one day where the sync was messed up on MobileMe, and once I reset that, it's been nearly flawless. There are a couple of annoyances, such as the inability to set reminders via the .me.com calendar app...but the contacts and bookmarks, in particular, work amazingly well, on my iPhone 3G, iMac, MacBook, and PC at work. Nobody's saying the service is flawless; but it works very well. And for $8.33/month, I am happy. Everyone says $99/year is too much--try getting the same solution via Exchange or BlackBerry for that much. Give it time to mature.</p> I am slowly moving from Gmail to all MobileMe.

I think people just expect too much. Even corporations with a dedicated technical team have problems with push. It's life, get used to it. And $99 a year isn't very much money for networking related stuff, so please don't act like you're spending a lot of coin for the service you're being offered because anything comparable in an enterprise setting would cost 10x more to maintain.</p> I have more problems with Windows Vista every single day than I have had with MobileMe.
