I avoid POP at all costs, so that I don't have to manage my messages twice. IMAP, FTW!
My webhost for my domain name does not allow sent messages to be stored on the server, so that makes IMAP difficult for me to use. Do you have a webhost that will allow sent messages to be kept on the server? I might try to make a switch soon.
I'm REALLY frustrated with the bluetooth on this thing. My built in BT in my Prius worked like a charm with my old phone. I was always told "Oh, you're driving? I had no idea! You sound great." Now all I get is "What? I'm sorry, I couldn't hear you. It sounds like you're talking into a paper bag. You're muffled, what?"
All Apple can suggest is turning off services: location services, wifi, push, 3G. Seriously WTF. It is so friggin' frustrating. The thing barely works.
I've reset it, restored it, reset all settings, re-paired it with the car, turned off everything but the BT. All. No. Go.

You know, I've not looked into the details that much. I just like IMAP, so I use it.
I know that gmail offers IMAP, you could check that out.
Can you create a file (pdf, doc, etc) on a Macbook, plug in the iphone, transfer that file to the iphone (somehow, but no internet access for the MB), then attach the file to an email in the iphone and email it?

As far as I know the only way to get a document into the iPhone at this point is to email it.
That really sucks, I would love to have a little app that would allow syncing of docs and viewing of them. You can view them in Mail in the iPhone, so the viewing is all there (.doc, .pdf, .pages, etc). You just have to email it. Blecch.
On another note, have you guys seen this on the power of bookmarklets on the iPhone? Cool!

bummer. I thought there was an app that could do it, but maybe only for jailbroken phones.
It would be nice to have a finder for the iphone, plug into your laptop, search the HD and put what you want on the phone, maybe someday.
Looks like some developers are working on it, but it may be limited more by what iphone mail can do.
Can I email files from FileMagnet? Not yet, but we're working on it! The iPhone version of Mail doesn't support sending attachments, so this will require a bit of work.
I tested one of the new iPhones for several days last week. One of the first things you notice is the short battery life if you are runnig it full tilt. At 2:00pm I charged it, worked my way thru the features, made a couple calls, a little browsing and GPS tests, lots of e-mail across several accounts, no music, dead at 8:30. Bluetooth was not on.
So I charged overnight, turned it on at 6:40am, turned off wi-fi at 10:am and used it more like a regular PDA, but did some more testing. It was down to 10% battery life at 2:30am the next day, even allowing me to send mail at that time. Again, no music. Certainly much better, but if you use it in critical situations, the life is no where near a typical flip phone or even a BlackBerry.
It took me forever, but I was finally able to find out at&t's SMTP server name for outbound mail for those accounts that need it. gmail was a breeze however. Exchange was surprisingly good. Unfortunately I also have accounts with services that provide POP3 or webmail but not true IMAP functionality. So I will have to decide between POP3 (not!) to the iPhone or just use webmail on Safari (less than optimal). Mail forwarding/aggregating might be an answer but replies get tricky.
Question for all the iPhone / iTouch dgrinners: what res (ppi) and dimensions are optimal for images? Seems it would be 72ppi, but since you can zoom in, I'm not sure what it would be.

After 1 week of use I've found the iPhone battery life to be similar (slightly better) than my previous 3G device (a Blackjack II) which I used only for data (no voice). I also use to have a old original color blackberry, and that got slightly better battery life than the iPhone. As for my old motorola razr, it got much better battery life than my iPhone.

The more I read about poor battery life, the less I want to buy one. I am tempted to get an itouch, 8gb for $199 refurbished, not a bad deal.
From what I read the battery life is excellent, best in its class. Problem is, it's in a class of juice-sucking pigs.
I'm happy enough with the battery life, given my use of it and my proximity to power on a day to day basis. If I need to turn services off to extend life sometimes, then so be it.
Apparently you don't know me very well. Not a possibility.
I did installed xCode, and download the sdk, but its been a long time since I worked with anything like objective C. However, I figure someone will have a vBulletin app eventually.
I downloaded the free (for now) iPhone app, 1Password. It is an iPhone version of their desktop app. I'd never been compelled to get it before. Yes, it adds functionality to Keychain Access, but I never really felt the need for it.
After downloading the iPhone version, and finding out that you can sync all the info from your mac, I decided to bite the bullet and buy the app. At $35 I think it's just a touch pricey for what you get, but it's a very good application, and I don't really mind paying for quality.
Syncing with the iPhone is very easy, but I am left with some extra webpassword entries on the iPhone that aren't on the desktop, and shouldn't be there. I can't figure out how to delete them, and even though they're deleted from the desktop and the trash is emptied, they still show up on the iPhone.
The app stores web passwords, but you don't use Mobile Safari with it, rather a browser built on the same webkit. It's fine, but you can't do the cool rotate into landscape view that you can in Safari. Harumph. It is version 1.2, so hopefully they'll add more cool features in the future.
I have some problems with logins. For instance, I have two Google Checkout accounts. GC keeps your username hard written and allows entry of the password only, unless you select "login as different user". It's kind of a PITA. Still working on that one. On the Mac I found that logging out of GC when I was done worked, but it doesn't seem to help on the iPhone
I'm still playing with it, and I'm still a little mixed on it, TBH. But it's well worth checking out.
There's a really great video tute and overview of the product, here.
Oh, I nearly forgot. You can sync secure notes from Mac to iPhone, too.
Thanks. Confirms what I thought. Given the aspect ratio I will probably boost it from the square 480x480. I'll see the diff in file size of that and the HD ratio.

AT&T customers use "cwmx.com" (Standard POP/IMAP compatible via port 25 with no SSL.)
But check the link, also wi-fi must be off for it to work (wi-fi takes precedence over the 3G or EDGE network).
Biggest issue is if you have an IMAP or POP mail account. Roadrunner uses POP. Sure they have a webmail client, but you have to use Safari. OOPS! Network Solutions webmail is compatible with IE, not Safari. So you have to think about how you route and save mail on various servers. GMAIL is great, and I've had no problems using Exchange Active Sync for mail.
But I have several subfolders on Exchange for Contacts, and iPhone seems to only see the top level. But I haven't really looked into a solution for that one (yet!).

there is an app in the AppStore called TouchFS that does this

One time I'm really glad I was wrong. I searched high and low for this. I just missed it!
Oh, wait, the reviews suck. I did see another app with 1 star ratings, this one doesn't seem to do much better. I'm going to wait.
