The interface and is VERY intuitive. Browsing the web, playing media and looking good is what it's best at and everyone is just a copy of it.

My experience with the iphone in business/enterprise setting was horrible to say the least. In a nutshell the 3g coverage is a bit on the slow and scarce side. Multi-tasking is impossible and email experince is sub-par. Personal use is fine but forget about pushing 300 emails a day.

Oh no, someone is going to hack my iPhone, steal my music, call my wife and read my text messages!!!! [Big Grin] Really, what does the average user need to encrypt on the phone anyway? Its not like were nuclear scientists or the guy holding on to the KFC herbs and spice recipe so what's the big deal? I LOVE my iPhone, nothing else touches it by a mile in my eyes. With cool new apps coming out every day its impossible to run out of things to do. Once its jailbroken you can download almost any app or game for free so loading up with useful or fun things is simple. Once you get tired of a game or the app, just delete it and get something else new. I'm always upgrading and looking for new toys, I've gotta be the first kid on the block with the new toy and since getting my iPhone I couldn't care less what other phones come out. I wired and installed the displays for the iPhone's at several AT&T stores and really wasn't that impressed with them until I actually got one and played with it. Try one out, you'll be hooked.

+1 on the iPhone. However, being tied to ATT is like a v6 in a mustang. If it ever gets opened up to other carriers, the game is over...

The other rumor is they are getting the Palm Pre. I believe that one more, as the iPhone is GSM network, Pre (Sprint) and Verizon are CDMA. The iPhone would have to be manufactured to be CDMA capable...

Yeah, my 1st gen is on T-mobile as well. There are lots of places that it will work over my 3G phone. But my 3G phone works in my house. The t-mobile iphone doesnt [Frown]

For me its diff, my phone is basically my mobile office. I write word docs and all kinds of stuff on it. Outlook stuff, schedule meetings, sunc my office outlok.... Plus I handle NDA documents and company's confidential information. I am hoping the Iphone gets to be more of a smartphone as I would love one. But security is a issue for me.

It worked when I tested it, but if it doesn't, you'd never know...
