How to Configure Exchange Account On Iphone

In this how to article I will show you how to configure a Microsoft Exchange email account on an iphone. Previous to the iphone 2.0 software update, the iphone was a nice phone with some cool features including web browsing and email support. The downside was that it did not support Microsoft Exchange which is the most commonly used email systems in this day and age. Now after the exchange 2.0 update, I would say the iphone is just about perfect for the common personal user and also the corporate user.
