... I have a couple of questions.
I would like to be able to sync it with our Exchange server at work, which I know it can do. However, I also want to use my Googlemail account through it. Is it possible to have both email accounts set up on the phone? Furthermore, I have an additional Googlemail account... is is possible to have 2 Googlemail accounts setup on the iPhone?
Following on from this, (kind of), do my Exchange contacts/calendar sync nicely with my Address Book and iCal on my Mac, when the iPhone syncs via iTunes, or do fields get messed up and info "lost in translation" between iCal/Address Book and Exchange?
Also, I know it is somewhat limited in terms of what it can pair with via Bluetooth. Do any of you use the iPhone with a hands free kit in the car? Recommendations for compatible hands free sets greatly appreciated! (Am I right in thinking the iPhone does not support voice dialling, either on it's own or through a car kit?).
Well there we go. I thought it was only a couple of questions, but I got carried away.
Thanks for any pearls of wisdom!

As far as I know, you can have as many different email accounts as you want on the iPhone. Whilst I have never used an Exchange server before, I currently have two accounts and have never run into any issues with this setup. Do any of you use the iPhone with a hands free kit in the car? Yes, however the Bluetooth was built into my car as standard. I've also tried it with a cheapo Bluetooth headset and this worked well, except I refuse to drive/walk around with one stuck onto my face. Am I right in thinking the iPhone does not support voice dialling, either on it's own or through a car kit? As far as I know, you are correct. I believe some developers have made voice-dialing applications, but you might have to "Jailbreak" in order to receive these. Hope that helps you. I'm sure you'll love the iPhone if you decide to get it Peter.

Thanks for your responses... my wife has an iPhone and I am consumed with jealousy ... I just wanted to find out if I could justify getting it through work! I have to wait until my contract ends with Orange before I can get one though. Regards, Mark

Another free voice dialler is Fring. It works pretty well, although none of those I've tried so far matches up to the voice dialling on my old Sony Ericsson. I haven't found one yet which works with a remote mic - either bluetooth or wired, so you have to rely on the built in mic, which is pretty good, but can be troubled by a noisy car. And all the ones I've tried require you to press a button on the screen, which is probably dimmed & locked, so you have to unlock your iPhone by sliding before you can press an icon and start speaking. Which isn't exactly handsfree, is it?

I found out yesterday that my car has built-in voice dialling, which works pretty well with the iPhone Peter.

It's a Nissan Qashqai. There is a button on the steering wheel, which starts the voice recognition when pressed. Peter.
