I got a new iPhone 4 from work, and went to add my MobileMe account on it.

I noticed that it wouldn't let me use my .mac e-mail address. It only added it's .me counterpart. Has anyone else noticed this? Very lame.

Oh, it works. I just don't want to give people a new e-mail address. As it is, I can't send mail from the phone because it has the wrong e-mail address. I found this on the Apple support forums:
MobileMe: @mac.com email address changes to @me.com on iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with iOS 4.2

It basically says I need to update to 4.3, which is impossible on a Verizon phone. (Currently at 4.2.10)

So, I think I'm basically screwed. :-(

iOS 5 is supposedly due on Tuesday.
The new Mac Pro has up to 30 MB of cache inside the processor itself. That's more than the HD in my first Mac. Somehow I'm still running out of space.
