iPhone 2.0: Success At Last
Filed Under Exchange and Outlook, iPhone, Software, Solutions
After four hours of messing with my temporarily bricked iPhone, the 2.0 software was finally activated. After all this wait, it was a bit of a let down to turn on my iPhone and really not much has changed. You now have the App Store icon and the new scientific calculator but that’s about it. But I didn’t upgrade or get the iPhone for those, I wanted Direct Push/Pull for our systems Exchange server and it was a long time coming. Configuring it was very easy and I was ready to go within minutes. The only problem that I had was when I added the username (DOMAIN\username) and password, I was told it was incorrect. I didn’t bother troubleshooting it too much because went ahead and used the username along with active directory domain name (user@domain.com or user@domain.comanay.local). After that, all was well. My contacts and calendar synced without fail. It’s sure nice to have that functionality back again.
More thoughts to come as I play with this. Already found some apps that I just might have to purchase. My question is, how will those apps transfer to my 3G iPhone I’m getting next week?
Quick Add: Just installed the Pandora radio app. A must have for music lovers.
