Try the Demo & Read Reviews B4 Buying

While some reviews of disappointment seem valid, some seem to scream: Match my Blackberry/Treo's capabilities in every way, right NOW!

I just suggested that a co-worker NOT buy it because it can't replace her BB's business functionality. Me? I'm pleased as punch with my iPhone because it's my entertainment toy/phone to-go. It's not my new HTC 8525.

Before buying, think about what's important to you. Make a comparison list. Ask iPhone owners questions. Read articles and forums. Check out YouTube video reviews. TRY ONE at a store. Try a friend's/co-worker's in the field.

You can always WAIT for the updated software or updated models. Some people I know have an iPhone AND their more functional phone.

Some of the criticism is constructive, and I applaud that. I would like to believe that Apple will make swift improvements in response to our feedback.

Agree.

My brother in law runs his own consulting business and it is exceeding his requirements and expectations. . .me, I work for a large corp with all kinds of IT police, restrictions, and a commitment to Blackberry so it really won't work for me. . .yet!

I used a BB 8700 then a BB 8800 and I'm really happy with the email on the iPhone. The mail on the BBs were always just plain looking text. I couldn't view a lot of my orders such as from amazon.com b/c for some reason it just couldn't display it. On the iPhone however I see emails exactly as they appear on the computer. I'm sure I'll run into shortcomings in the future, but I'm hoping updates will resolve them before I need them heh.
