All iPhones work. Just makes sure the os on the phone is at least v4.0.

If email reading is your primary concern

Based on what I have read in this forum:
No iphone works
All blackberries work
some androids work (to find out which android ones, see specs --> need to support full BlueTooth MAP, check forum posts)

OK..here is the dumb question for the day:
Anyway to switch between multiple apps without having to touch the phone?

For example, can I have Mog playing and then switch over to Mobile office to check my calendar?

BTW: Mog is AWESOME, just got it and the sound quality is a huge improvement (320kbs) Vs Pandora (64kbs).

Thanks
