Sure the battery on iPhone 3G is not that great, but what can we do? We want small size phones, powerful features and lengthy battery life.

Just get a backup battery. I got mine from iPhoneck brands. Their new 3G backup battery is probably one of the better looking products in the market.

Great blog Stephen…I am finally getting answers to so many questions after months of browsing the net for answers. I was in the same situation where I have a mac at home but use PC at work; I have to use a Berry by default because did not know how to set up the iphone apps; think i have a better idea now.

@martini,
Can you please elaborate on your comment “authenticating with a client certificate already worked with OS 2.x…”

After participating in the 2.x beta, Apple still claimed the client-certificate could not be used with the Active-Sync features since the enrollment methods do not support the installation and presentation of the certificate to the external ISA web-listener for Active-Sync for authentication.

If you have done this, please share

Regards, M. Alexander

I am glad the calendar will be supported better. I am assuming since notes aren't getting sync'd neither are tasks? Any chance they allowed mulitple signatures? Last thing I can think of is when you send a new messages to someone is it in html or still text?

ActiveSync also allows 30 minute intervals, unless any server between your device and exchange closes the connection earlier. Push is actually just a very long pull request that is repeated every 30 minutes (if not answered or closed earlier).
There is a Microsoft Knowledge Base article that recommends to set the connection timeout to 30' on any firewall in between: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/905013
