Pros: Thin, but SOLID feel, doesn't scratch, extreme battery life, plenty of features without becoming cumbersome. Super sharp display, easy backup of all data to your machine, so if you lose your phone, you are totally safe. Easy to deal with Voice Mail, Photos, YouTube, iTunes, etc.
Cons: No video recording, hard to tell which direction is up in low light! AT$T's Edge service, (although most people use regular WiFi 90% of the day anyway) Apple needs to open it up to very qualified developers. G3 eats batteries so I'm glad it doesn't have it! WiFi is MUCH faster.
Summary: All n' All, this is the best Cell / Pico Computer ever designed by Mankind. It's a marvel of engineering and will be remembered as the first true "smartphone" 100 years from now.
Extremely deep features, but still easy to use. Love the "Visual" Voice Mail / being able to attach photos to people that call. Google Maps has never been seen before unless you have used an iPhone! Using 2 fingers to zoom in/out is 20 years ahead of any other product. It has MultiTouch, not just a Touch screen! Only cell phone with a REAL Browser... very nice.
Downside, I don't like being tied to any one carrier, it needs to have a FREE Voice over IP feature, the days of Cell Phones are gone, so once Apple turns this feature on, anyone can talk for free. Much better than the Cell Monopolies in my opinion. iTunes is a blast to use on the iPhone, it has a strong speaker, solid vibrate, and best of all the battery can last for DAYS and DAYS without recharging.
(And a lot of people don't yet know) The iPhone battery is just $20 to replace. So keep that in mind if you still have it in 4-5 years when it needs a new one. Otherwise, learn that the lithium-ion battery in this device is HUGE, it's the longest life cellphone of any of them.
Overall, very good experience, the iPhone is the phone to have if you want QUALITY in your life.
