Today, I got an iPhone 3g! And yes, it's very very very sexy. I hadn't played a lot with iPhones from friends, but I must say that it rocks. The interface is so nice and snappy. The only thing I don't like it that it seems that Apple doesn't really care about integrating with other systems than with their own platform. I happen to own an iMac, but even then, I had to jump through hoops to get my stuff migrated from my 'old' Nokia n61i.
I happen to use Zyb.com as an online backup for my contacts and calendars. My Nokia played nice with it and synced things with SyncML, but Apple decided not to support this. 3rd party apps aren't really that great or don't support syncing calendars. What I finally did was using the "Funambol" application to sync my contacts with Zyb, but because Apple closed the format of the iCal database, Funambol only does the contacts (same for Synthesis SyncML2iPhone). Then I exported my calendars from the Zyb site to vcalendars and imported them in Apple's desktop iCal application. From there, I could sync my calendar with iTunes.
The problem I'm facing is that I now can sync my contacts from my phone to Zyb, but not my calendar, which kind of sucks. I'm still trying to figure out a way to (except from installing an Exchange server) sync all my things (calendar, notes, etc).
