Multiple APN's on iPhone 3G with 3.0

Hi,

Is there a way to configure the iPhone with multiple APN's, my company has an email solution which we can only access through a special APN but access to the entire internet is not possible through this APN.

On my Nokia its possible to have multiple APN's and choose upon application launch which to use. I guess this wont be the case on the iPhone but maybe there's a way to specify per application?

great question, even nice would be to specify the use of the proxy server of the apn. so some apps will use the proxy server and some will not. like adres exclusion in windows mobile (sorry :))

I am currently using 6 different APN's on my nokia E90, of which 1 is for private use and the rest are all work related. If apple is serious about pushing the Iphone as a business tool, multiple apn's will be required as most organisations have specific APN's for intranet usage as well as zero rated restricted usage. As the new Iphone 3Gs supports MMS, the phone is actually supporting 2 different APN's already. If the feature is added I would like the ability to match specific APN's per application or email account as well as the option to select a APN when I want to use the browser.

Next question will be using multiple email accounts, business and private simultaneously also with matched APN's and hopefully a apple version of the "blackberry" client allowing access to global address lists etc.
