Hopefully, I'll get the "word from God" email from ATT soon so I can activate and finally take this thing for a test drive.

It really does depend on what you do with your smartphone. And what you expect out of your iPhone.

In my case, I own a large business and communication in a timely fashion is really crucial for me. Much of that is by email, and the rest by phone. So I must have a good phone, a great email device, and reliability. I switched to a BlackBerry after trying the rest because RIM finally began offering BB's with good phones. I live by Outlook for work and personal so that's got to sync reliably and fast. I'm so use to touch typing on a smartphone that I must have keys. I really tried to like the touch screen keyboard, but you have to look at it and that doesn't work for me. It's incredibly slow and uncomfortable. Striking the hard glass surface as you type is a deal breaker.

If you have other questions please ask.
