- So basically you can create several folders in MobileMe and chose the one you want on your iPhone? For example "iPhone folder", "All Contacts" folder", etc.?

- Is MobilMe an application that only exists on your iPhone or do you have one on the PC too? I figured it'd be quicker to revise the list on the PC and then sync it to the iPhone.

- Also, will I still need to use the Outlook or can it be done solely on MobilMe?

"I do like the "Push" feature in MobileMe. If you get an email sent to your xxxxxx@me.com address it will ding and show up on your iPhone. Plus if you add a contact to either MobileMe or on your iPhone it shows up on both ends. You don't have to enter it everywhere."

- So do I have to get the …@me.com email address or can I use my regular email address? I guess I'm still confused on the pros of the MobileMe.

One thing I DID like on my Treo was the Palm Address Book where I could go in, click on the address/name I wanted to change then put my phone in the cradle, press the sync button and the change would show on my Treo. Not sure how to do that on the iPhone.

I must say I love the iPhone - it seems to be very user friendly and intuitive. The iTunes - much less so.
MobileMe, formerly mac.com, is a subscriber service. You have to subscribed to me.com, $99/yr (subscribed initially for the web galleries and iDisk and will eventually have a personal website hosted there), I believe, to use MobileMe. The beauty is, make a change on one, and all 3 stay updated!
