I have had zero problems with MobileMe service. Almost instant syncing, great service. I definitely recommend it for keeping an iPhone linked with one or more computers.

If I put something on my Microsoft Exchange calendar, it comes up almost immediately on my iphone. I cannot, however, get something (either a calendar or contact item) added on my iphone to show up on my exchange calendar/contacts. How do I solve this? Help.

Ken, Don’t go with mobileme. Their service really is terrible.

Guys, I use an exchange calendar together with mobile me calendar on the iphone. How can I get the exchange calendar to sync with mobile me so that I can view both calendars across other laptops, mobileme etc.? Thanks

Ken, I have Mobile Me and my work Exchange email synced to my iPhone. For work, when I am sitting in the office working on a laptop directly plugged into the network with Outlook up and running invariably I get a ping on the iPhone for a new mail before it appears in Outlook – the push is controlled by Exchange and so responds more like Web Outlook, whereas local is an intermittent update. Note that this has been quicker to the iPhone regardless of whether I have a wi-fi connection for it. I can’t compare this to a Blackberry as I’ve never had one – bought my own iPhone and hacked it on day 1 to use for work. How fast is is it on Mobile Me for mac accounts? Haven’t compared this one but for me it is less critical, though still appears to be pretty rapid.

hello, i am considering switching to the iphone from bb. I really like the idea of MobileMe but am hesitant after hearing of the service issues. Can someone advise how quickly the e-mails come over the iphone? is there much of a lag? any other issues?

i use gmail now, but would switch to a .me address if I knew it was reliable.

The bottom line is that the 2 calendars are maintained separately and are independent; this seems to be a good split between work and personal lives.

After having created the accounts on the iPhone, all you need to do is select All Calendars at the top of the Calendar app. You will then see all your events at the same page in different colors.

Hope this is what you needed. Cheers!

How did everyone set up to view both their MobileMe and Exchange calendars on your iPhone?

have just enabled exchange, and have a mobileme account with syncing to my iPhone, yet I only see my exchange data when I launch my iPhone calendar.

I guess it doesn't "just work"

Yep, me too. Both MM and EXCH are working great together. You can even (if you use a Mac and MM) sync items with iCal/Entourage/Address book. Very well done, and it’s making it more attractive to real business users.
