iPhone + vCard = Bad Deal

Let me preface this with: I'm not a Mac hater or lover. If something is good I'll use it and thats it, nothing else.

So I've been thinking about getting a fancy new iPhone for a while now. Its really because all the cool kids are doing it. One of the things holding me back is this simple question: can the iPhone use vCards downloaded from email and websites?

Sadly after about 30 mins talking with one of Apple's live help person, I finally got an answer. No dice... Now I don't doubt that the iPhone actually uses vCards to manage the transfer between the the phone and the programs like Outlook and Entourage since thats how the iPods do it. So it seems that it would use them but in a VERY restricted fashion...

So now since Apple in their infinite wisdom has decided to exclude this seemingly basic functionality, they have lost a customer. For now that is...
