Don't!!!!

I am new to sfdc and use a Mac and iPhone. Maildrop is fine, but SF3 is a disaster! Simon, the developer, doesn't give a rats ass about actually making something that doesn't put your sfdc data in danger. Problems:

1. You can't import groups to AddressBook - that means it won't connect to iPhone - that means you always have to use the sfdc app on the iPhone. So, you have to have a cell signal or you can't get your data. Also, you won't know who is calling you like you do if numbers are in the Contacts on your iPhone (i.e. AddressBook).

2. There are bugs. Even if you don't sync the contacts and only use the calendar feature of SF3, it will still do funny things like import all of the company names in you contact list - this could cause some big problems, trust me!!!

3. I could go on forever. . . .

The bottom line is that you can use Appirio to do the calendar through google, and just use the sfdc iPhone app. Anyone you really love doing business with you simply put in by hand into Address book for the purpose of having in your iPhone contact list. It sucks, but until someone can do a proper sync to AddressBook, this is how your world will be. Also, sfdc doesn't care. They will tell you a solution exists and they lie. They don't mean to, but saying a solution exists and then saying it is SF3 is bullcrap.

Good luck . . . .
