Apple + ActiveSync is eating email on my iPhone: iCrap?

I wrote earlier about how great the new Apple ActiveSync integration works. To a point, that's true. My calendar and contacts have been syncing flawlessly on my iPhone.

But email? Well....

Half the time that I click on an email it bumps me back to my home screen (and resets email so that the server needs to push it back to the phone). I have no idea what is going on, but I've re-created my IMAP account until Apple figures out the problems.

I'm a huge Apple fan. Today, however, I couldn't be more disappointed. I keep seeing pretty, shiny things...and then finding out they're iCrap underneath.

works great for me, don't jump to the conclusion that it's the phone.

That`s why the world runs on MSFT...Apple=Crapple !

Yeah, and MSFT has introduced... Let me see.... ...zero innovative solutions. In order to be innovative, you have to produce something more than a really crappy copy of the iPod. The Zune! Be one of the only five people in the world that use it!

I take innovation over bland, predictable and unworkable solutions from the stressed out minds of Microserfs...

Active sync works great for me...... Its perfect...... But where the hell is snooze on calendar reminders????

One of my employees upgraded his iPhone to the new 3G model yesterday. One of the first thing he did was to hook into our Exchange server and sync it. Very impressive - copied all the folders over and downloaded all the 6 month history he said he wanted.

I now have a bad case of Technolust!

The only thing he hadn't managed to do was to get the GPS set - apparently, it needs a clear view of the sky at first to suss out where in the world it is. From then on, it's apparently a bit more tolerant of being used in buildings - at least with a good window view of the sky outside.

Downloaded, installed, unplugged and ran to the Police concert, no problems all in 20 minutes. I waited til late in the day to do the download as it didn't even appear in iTunes until 4:45 up here in Portland. No problems what so ever, worked flawlessly....Oh and Elvis Costello opened for the police...Sting ran out on stage and sang Allison with Elvis....sweet.

The same thing has been happening to me and it's driving me nuts!!!! I have tried everything including restore but after an hour or so my Exchange mail gets locked. I am going back to IMAP for my email too. I hope Apple has this fixed soon...
