Then, I was able to figure out how to get my Google Sync Contacts onto my iPhone 4S by using Account > Exchange > Mail, Contacts, Calendars. Two problems now...

(1) I can't figure out how to get my Contacts now from this "Exchange" to my iCloud, and

(2) My Google Calendar appears to be 'loaded' twice onto my iPhone 4S.

Can anyone help me with these issues?

Yeah, I fixed that on mine.

My calendars were doubled up, so I just took calendars off the iCloud, and had them sync manually.

Took calendars off the iCloud. Let me look into that. Thanks!

Also, I thought all pictures were supposed to be uploaded automatically to Photo Stream. I've found them on Photo Stream (via my device), but is Photo Stream not tied into iCloud? How do you access Photo Stream from your computer?

Photo stream is not linked to iCloud. With my Mac, it is linked to iPhoto. They have to be turned on on both of them. You CANNOT delta photos off Photo Stream either. Only way to delete photos is to import them all into your iPhoto, then turn Photo Stream off and back on with both devices.

I believe you can access Photo Stream through the iCloud website.

That's what I thought. But according to earnest's post above, that leads me to believe "no."

Which is it?

Photo Stream is part of iCloud. Photos only upload to Photo Stream when you're connected to Wi-Fi. There is no way to delete just one photo from Photo Stream. You have to delete them all. I suspect that when it is out of beta, there will be an option to selectively delete from Photo Stream.

Yeah. That is not cool at all. I don't like the idea of not being able to delete a photo. That is a terrible flaw.

When I log onto the Cloud, I only see... Mail... Contacts... Calendar... Find My iPhone... iWork

I know for a fact you can reset your photo stream through icloud.com.

That's not what you said, though. You can not VIEW your photos from the cloud.

Never said you could view photos that way.

If you can get past the lagging, locking up, and freezing that most phones seem to be plagued with after a year...

I just bought a Samsung Focus S. I don't have to deal with bullshit lagging or problems with photos or contacts. Only problem I have to deal with is that there are currently like 3.5 apps in the store.

I am sure in due time MS will build out that app store. One thing nice about Windows Phone, they are very smooth.

I think I figured out the double calendar, double Gmail thing. I just simply switched those options to off on the Exchange; therefore I'm only using the 'Contacts' part from the Exchange. Still haven't figured out, however, how to get my Contacts from the Exchange to sync with iCloud. And I am kinda ticked that you cannot view photo stream photos from the iCloud. That's stupid.

Yeah, and it's got probably the easiest and best dev tools out of the three so I'm sure they'll come. If there's one thing MS knows it's "DEVELOPERS DEVELOPERS DEVELOPERS DEVELOPERS"

Is it not workable for you to just forward one Gmail account to the other? I do that and works great.
