A lot of people are complaining about the fact their iPhone isn’t receiving anything from the MobileMe cloud; and I was one of them; but I finally managed and it is now up and working!
Here are the steps I followed to make my iPhone sync my data “over the air“:

  1. Sync the iPhone and uncheck the email sync (in iTunes)
  2. Open mail.app and deleted my .mac account
  3. Setup a “brand new” mobileme account
  4. Sync from system preferences the datas (contacts, ical etc)
  5. Sync the iPhone and check the MobileMe account (in iTunes)
  6. Went to the iPhone and set it up (pref>general>mail, contacts…) to sync these datas over the air
  7. (I saw) the contacts names appearing instead of their phone numbers in the recent/missed calls and on the SMS received and sent but still nothing in my address book
  8. Restart the iPhone: everything is there!

I still don’t know which of these steps made the “thing” work though…
