they are good, very good, my bro has one, boss next door, they are great, and wait for the replies with all the other companies that are trying to equal it

go for that and no alternative

even tho the google phone looks quite cool, waiting for more news on that!

I've had my iPhone for about 6 months now .... old and new one.

I would ONLY say get one if you are going to use everything on it.  As a phone I don't find it that great.  Texting is annoying.

The thing which makes it good for me is having the iPod built in.  I travel a lot and it's useful that I can listen to my music and when my phone rings it interrupts and puts the call through. 

I don't use it for emails.  Blackberries are still the best for that.  It is useful having the net on the move and although it's slow it's quite good. 

If you do get one there should be a 30 day returns policy if you're not happy.  I know a few people have used that.

They are good but if you just want a phone, go for something else.

ps you can't send or recieve picture messages or record video

Feckin bluetooth dont work either! its annoying but i live with it. I cant set my emails up as it doesn't work with hotmail which is crap.

i agree about the phone function. Shouldve had video call capability imo.

if it could have afew gadgets more, it would be worth it.
