I've had the iphone now for 3 weeks & have to say it's the first piece of electronic equipment in maybe 10 years that's truly impressed me. Great call quality, very nice interface, lots of useful online apps available, and simply 'works'.

Only negatives I see are lack of flash for webpages you browse, and instant messenger type programs only work if you're in the app, they don't work/receive msgs in the background if you open a diff't application.

Even with those shortcomings, I'm finding it a keeper.
I bought a factory unlocked unit (came from Australia or Europe, not sure) & simply plug in my U.S. or Orange sim card. I don't use/pay the phone company for internet access, there's sufficient wifi available.
