GMail or MobileMe?

I love my mobile me. I also love logging into my boyfriends and sending him annoying messages he can't ignore. Usually purposely embarrassing while he's at work.

I've been using Mobile Me and am pretty happy. I don't use my @me email though I prefer gmail for that.

I just set io the google sync and the push mail works great. I'm going to cancel my MobileMe account before my free trial is over

me too I believe. I was talked into it in the store and am finding it is not necessary for my personal needs. I am on a PC.

I've only had a iphone for a few days, and I tried Mobile Me and it took ALL my google contacts - regardless of whether they were in my contacts area or not - and pushed them. So if google had created a contact automacally for someone and then later I created a separate contact for them - well the google one is still lingering in gmail. Mobile Me picked BOTH up. Google sync using Microsoft Exchange did not - it only picked up the items I had personally marked as contacts. Since I am on a PC and am using Picasa for my pic hosting and gmail for email... I'm thinking Mobile Me isn't a good fit for me. Good thread, is really helping me decide at a critical time.

MobileMe works great, but the Web Apps leave a little to be desired. If you access your email via the web frequently, MobileMe may not be the way to go. However, if you access it on a desktop client, I see little reason to not take the plunge to Apple's service.

MobileMe is awesome except to the @me email. It works great with my iPhone, but only sends an occasional email to my Mac.

I love MobileMe. However, @me.com email really needs server-side rules/filters. If they are not available by the time my current subscription ends, I'm probably going to not bother with it again.
