Hands down the best Smartphone. It's not really a "Smartphone" - it's more a small computer in your pocket (or purse)! I really don't know what Janice (3rd post) is talking about: "...I find the iPhone to be a little slow in switching applications and accessing info (so, comparatively, it takes a lot longer to exit an app, locate a contact, and place a call, for example)..." With the new iPhone 3Gs, apps close and switch faster than anything I've seen. VERY fast! "...You can’t search your email..." You CAN search your email. In fact, in the new 3.0 OS on the iPhone, you have GLOBAL search. Fantastic. Searches everywhere for your inquiry. And fast! "...You can’t cut and paste..." - You CAN cut and paste! And the way Apple implements it is just awesome... Very user friendly. "...he camera has no flash..." True, but with the way they've engineered the auto-focus (and the finger focusing!), auto-contrast, and auto-colorization, the photos come out great anyway. "...Email navigation is better on the Blackberry..." ?? Email navigation on the iPhone is easy as pie. Don't understand her problem w/ email nav on the iPhone. I love it. Browsing is lightening fast. My wife has the iPhone 3G, and I've had my 3Gs for about a week and 1/2 now. We did side by side speed tests of a bunch of websites. My 3Gs won hands down on every page. Sooo fast. I am not an Apple fan-boy. In fact, I'm an IT geek, working in a Windows/Unix world, and I say go for the iPhone. It is just incredible. This is the next big thing. A computer in your pocket - and I have to say it - Apple got it 100% right, and I think they will continue to lead. Good luck with your choice (get the iPhone!). Get the iPhone.

I also consider this a bit of a blessing, since I border on being too connected (is that possible).

I have to say, I love it. Love that I can Twitter from it and Facebook and read my email and the paper and YouTube and all that other crap that sucks up my time during the day. I don't have the iPhone because I am not a fan of AT&T. I happen to love my Verizon Service and it will take more than Satan to take my network from me. Go and hold both phones. Feel them and love them and call them your own...then decide. I don’t have either, but I have the iPod Touch, which is basically the iPhone without the phone and camera. I have to say, I love it.
