How to get Exchange without losing my contacts

[cnurugby9]

I am thinking of getting the new iPhone and I want to know if there is a way to get my work email through the Exchange Server and have my local contacts and another email on it without doing MobileMe?

If your work users exchange server then you are set to go. Simply set it up on the iPhone to push your contacts, email, calender, etc...

will that cause my contacts to overlap at all? I guess I am getting mixed reports from different forums. So say that their contacts double or don't work at all.

I'm sorry. I read your post wrong. You don't have to sync your contacts via exchange. You can sync via your local computer. (contacts only if you'd like)

So I can have just my email from exchange if I so choose? If that is the case, awesome and thank you for your assistance.

Yeah, you can pick and choose what you'd like to sync. If it is just email and no contacts that is possible for sure.

I was under the impression that if you used an exchange server to push your contacts and calendar that that would wipe out any other contact list or calendar. Is that correct?
