I've had one since 1st Gen. Used to carry a company-issued BB and my iPhone, but recently ditched the BB and carry just the iPhone now.
Our CEO bought a 3GS and is ga-ga for it. Soon afterwards I heard we are most likely ditching the BES and BBs and going with iPhones across the company. How good/bad that will be, I don't know. But, in today's economy (especially real estate) it doesn't surprise me. Don Guyer Systems Engineer - Information Services Prudential, Fox & Roach/Trident Group 431 W.

That just might give my manager the justification he needs to get us one. That and the fact that the CEO is getting one and my manager is already "letting them know" we don't have one so therefore are not familiar enough with them to provide necessary support.....

I had them test it with the vCenter Mobile (VMWare management for mobile devices) and it worked perfectly. Some other guys use an ssh client on their iPhones and are happy with it. I have a Bold myself, and while it is nice, I can't get the bloody VPN to work. On top of that, the VPN profile is tied to a wifi profile, where the iPhone can do VPN over the 3G network. So even if it did work, 90% of the time that I'm away from computer access I wouldn't be able to use it. A bit pointless. I'd worry that the Pearl would be in the same boat with the Bold on VPN access.
