Why wouldn't something in the cloud work for you?

I personally have a Google Apps account that I connected to my iPhone as an Exchange account, and it syncs my Contacts and Calendars plenty well, and gives me my mail at the same time.

I presume a regular Gmail account will serve the same purpose.

Primarily because I don't see a reason I should trust someone else with my data. We've seen Google accounts suspended, cloud Email/Exchange companies go out of business, or they get raided by three-letter agencies. Sometimes for unlawful reasons.

None of those things inspire trust.
