I think to get the best experience with the iPhone a dot Mac account is essential. It will do what an enterprise server does for the Blackberry, without an enterprise server you don't have address book, e-mail syncing so I don't agree with Wayne. I don't play games on the iPhone either and I considered both and think that the iPhone serves my use better. Here are the specs that Apple gives for the computer to be compatible with the iPhone Mac system requirements Mac computer with USB 2.0 port Mac OS X v10.4.11 or later iTunes 8.2 or later (free download from www.itunes.com/download) iTunes Store account Internet access > > > --- Manage your account options at //www.freelists.org/list/muglo
