The iPhone really is a good device. I had one when they first came out (unlocked it and put it on T-mobile, which is somewhat better than AT&T here), but then I sold it when someone offered me crazy cash because I had unlocked it. I've also got an iPod Touch, which is basically an iPhone without the phone part.

The only thing that blows BIG about them, at least here, is the carrier. In my area, AT&T sucks a very large egg through a microscopically tiny straw. This is also why I'm not excited about the iPad. If Apple would put the iPhone on Verizon, I'd be among the first in line.
