Hopefully the later will go away soner rather than later. Other than that it serves all of my needs better than any other mobile device I've owned/used to date.Oh and btw, I was an iPhoe owner first and then switched over to a MBP for my work computer. I still use a PC at home.

I have an iTouch so I'm with Mark and I've 'jail broken' it so I can do pretty much what I want. Running it off my home wifi for Twitter, GMail and internet usage is pretty darned cool stuff.

Need to wait a little longer to get my mobile number transferred from vodaphone. (The PAC code is on it's way).It's a FABULOUS piece of kit with many neat features and such a great improvement on my palm (which I loved) and my old nokia n73 phone (which I hated). And it's given me back the shuffle facility I had on my old ipod shuffle before I moved across to a nano. I'd missed that.One key downside I've noted already: Although it synchs with my outlook contacts and calendars (and is a great improvement on my old palm in many related respects) - it doesn't synch my TASKS or Memos. I'll need to find a work around on that as I have hundreds of memos on my palm and in outlook. And I've been relying on the TASKS list as a 'to do list' for years.Another issue that will take some getting used to is scrolling through websites like bloglines. On my palm the default view matched the text to the width of the screen. When it does that on the iphone it's too small for me to read so I have to zoom in. And that means I then I have to scroll back and forth to read the full width of the text.My 20 year old son got himself an itouch (same as iphone but without the phone!) as he 'touch texts' on his mobile and wouldn't be able to do that on an iphone.

I want a slightly better camera in it!). You might find even better results in the UK. O2's tariffs are pretty good (the base one would easily cover my current call usage, and then some), plus unlimited data and impressive Wi-Fi hotspot coverage? With free connection to The Cloud and my own BT Openzone credits, I'll rarely be out of touch. It looks pretty compelling...
