Syncing
I want the iphone primarily to sync my info from my macbook address book and ical. It may sound crazy to pay $600 just for this, but I have so far been unable to find any phone which meets my strict requirements.
Anyone know if the iphone will:
--Sync not only the contacts but also the notes that go with them? So if in my mac address book I have a note with directions to someone's house, or a comment not to call before 3 p.m., it will be transferred to my phone? A couple of syncing programs I've tried don't include notes which is a dealbreaker for me.
--Sync your "smart groups" on your mac address book? This is key for me as I have more than 500 contacts and if I can't remember someone's name I need to filter on the phone for the type of person. For example, all contractors working on my house have one category, another for restaurants etc.
--Gives you alerts from ical. So if you programmed an alert for 2 days prior to an appointment, the phone will alarm.
All of these things are currently done beautifully in a compact flip phone by my Samsung i600 but I need to maintain a windows PC for this because it uses activesync. I'd rather use all Mac software on my Macbook!
