And your reasons--security and server interaction--are good enough.

Couple that with the AT&T only service of the iPhone... the answer to your "what can a Blackberry do that an iPhone can't" question might well be "make a call in New England."


yeah, coverage sucks. but the original point was that people got the iphone for their business stuff and couldn't sync their MS apps with it. and i still hold that there is very little related to MS that can't be done on the iphone already. we've gotten a little farther away from that and i just want to put it back out there as a reminder. the only non-native (i.e. -- out of the bo stuff the iphone can't do in regards to MS business software is edit office documents. and again, "there's an app for that"
