When computer company Apple announced that they were planning to make a phone, most pundits felt sure that Apple would produce something a bit different from the crowd. An Apple phone would have to be a plush, prestige unit and the product of a thoughtful design process.

Ok I have to ask what this is about and I am not in love with exchange or windows but I have to use it. "The main reason was "full" Exchange server support. The iPhone supports IMAP; which I don't have implemented, and for security reasons, is shut off." What is insecure about the exchange IMAP server ? What about it is any more insecure then the exchange pop3 or MAPI server?
IMAP only provides the email component; it doesn't provide sync support for Contacts, Tasks and Events, which I do use on a constant basis. Also, in case my phone is stolen, I can remotely wipe the device using OWA or the admin console; I can't do that with IMAP.
The iPhone also doesn't support push email for Exchange; ActiveSync does.
