When you receive an email, it's delivered almost immediately so you can read it. You don't need to remember to check email, like with iPhone.

This phone i certainly not without it's faults (like copy and paste) but it is truly, by far, the best phone and multi-use device I've ever had. My Blackberry's been in my desk drawer through 2 iPhones and since 6/29/07! 1 thing to note is that battery life and stability have improved since 2.0.1... I look forward to 2.1...

Call me old but as cool as the iphone is--I still need it to make phone calls. I live in Chicago and when I went to the Apple store they blamed AT&T and suggested that I turn off my 3G-- I was so not amused. The At&T Store replaced my SIM card, pointed to the coverage map and told me it was not a problem. I feel like yelling "the iphone is not wearing any clothes" since both AT&T and Apple claim "No problem."

While it's nice to be able to place a call over the GrandCentral network in case I want to transfer it later and have the GC number appear as my caller ID, it doesn't solve my larger issue of being unable to listen to voicemail messages except when I'm at my computer.

Allows you to make calls from your GC # :) I love it so far. Judi, have you tried “GrandDialer” for GrandCentral? Allows you to make calls from your GC # :) I love it so far.

I get better service everywhere. I just switched from Alltel and it's amazing how much better service I get--sometimes in the oddest of places (out in the middle of the woods in north-east Michigan I had 3 bars). Hopefully we'll see an upgraded version of the Wordpress app in the future and also Copy/Paste (2.1!!) I definitely agree with this post, outside of the dropped calls..

There are definitely a lot of benefits though, and those outweigh the negatives for me at the end of the day. Honestly, my biggest frustration? The camera! It's not a real problem, I was just surprised that it does not contain things like flash and zoom. The GPS could use a little improving too...but I have a feeling both of these things will be fixed by applications or future updates.

Thomas Hawk isn't regretting his iPhone purchase in the manner implied (ie he's not griping about switching to the iPhone from a competing device). He's regretting upgrading from his original iPhone to the new model. For reasons he explains. Also, another important note.

I knew that. Thanks. I've been getting those two confused for years. Fixed. @JP, I'm sorry if you feel my post was overly negative. If you were expecting a positive review to be nothing but glowing praise, it's just not going to happen. There's no such thing as a perfect device, at least to me. Always room for improvement. But overall, my iPhone experience has been positive and fun...productive fun, not games. @James, yikes! I knew that. Thanks. I’ve been getting those two confused for years. Fixed.

I don't understand why Apple didn't let us customize that. We only have 3 choices, home, phone favs, or ipod...I'm thinking this is something they just haven't gotten around to? As for typing speed, I'm typing faster on the iPhone than on my old Treo. About 35wpm. www.iphonetypingtest.com Totally agree on the home button.
