It’s live and working now – I just signed up and am able to get my Exchange mail on my iPhone. This is good because we don’t expose IMAP through our firewall and using OWA on the iPhone is a bit of a pain. But it still doesn’t even come close to the experience on my BlackJack, so hopefully Apple will add native (non-IMAP) Exchange support down the road.

Attachment support is pretty weak – max size limit is 64KB unless you turn off limits altogether. I would prefer to see 512KB and 1MB as options – maybe that’s just a limitation of the demo to conserve bandwidth, but as it stands the max limit isn’t big enough to do me much good so it boils down to attachments on or off. And since I don’t want to get nailed with a 15MB attachment over my Edge connection, that means no attachments.

Lastly, the demo forces a tagline on all of your messages. This would be ok for a personal account, but not for work – so for me it’s going to be a way to read my mail, but I’ll still have to use OWA to reply or compose new. And at that point I’m not sure it’s worth the extra hassle since I’m going to be in OWA all the time anyway.

Overall impression? Meh.
