Self signed certificates and the iphone?

Im trying to sync my iphone to my small business server, and it wont verify the certificate. So ive been looking for the past couple of days on how to set up and install self signed certificates and i havent been making any progress. Ive created a self signed cert, and then uploaded it to the iphone and have gotten no luck, still says the certificate cannot be verified. Do i absolutely have to purchase a certificate for my server for this to work?

No.  I think that when you setup exchange on the iphone it warns you about the cert but you have the option to accept it and move on.  Have you seen that screen?

From past experience and the pain and agony that comes with setting up PDA's etc i would suggest buy a certificate - you also my have to put the root cert onto your phone also not just the main cert.

check out www.namecheap.com you can get certs for 12 Dollars.
