Just as well I didn't get one. I was thinking about it but the deal breaker for me was that I couldn't get a contract I liked. Now, I've seen people with the iPhone and I think it looks great - I might even get one...

Unfortunately my iPhone 3G experiences have been rather bitter so far. Calls drop consistently when 3G is enabled. The GPS does not work on 3G. When 3G is disabled call stability is good, but then my data speeds go down terribly. And even with 3G turned on, data speeds have been up and down all the time, and the last week or so speeds have been horrible. Oh and every once in a while Safari freezes up when I press the backspace key. After a 15 second pause all the backspaces are flushed together resulting in unexpected text deletions. My verdict so far for the iPhone 3G : Looks good, but not as usable as smartphones from other companies

Sorry to hear that Nish. I've read that 3G has been a problem for the iPhone but have not experienced any problems on mine (O2 network though, not AT&T or Rodgers.) You've got the latest firmware (2.0.2) yeah? Apparently that solves some of the 3G problems.

Subtract 1 Sony Ericsson from the stats. I own a dumb phone (but works as intended!).

Ive got the HTC TyTN2, i absolutely love it!
There are only two things about this phone that i can really complain about, lack of graphics processing power and the tiny little speaker isn't as loud as any of my previous
Nokia's.
Now if i only had the time to develop some apps for it

Any one has an exact definition for Smartphone? I have a mobile that has calendar and is able to connect to the net, run some apps, etc. but as long as I know most of today mobile phones does have such features. Are all these cellphones called smart phone?
Is it just me or you have a tall text box for optional text answer? Maybe Chris is looking for deep and detailed text answers.

If it takes longer than 30 seconds to boot then its a smartphone.

If it takes longer than 10 seconds to power up and be ready, it is replaced.

iPhone takes about that. Rarely have to reboot it. More than I'd like though.

Just talking about this with my wife earlier today. My phone is cheap and dumb. If i break it, drown it, or lose it, i can get another one for less than the cost of one year of insurance / extended warrantee. It's also built like a brick, so in spite of numerous drops, crushes, and spills, it's working fine. I can and do toss two of them in one pocket before going for a ride, without misgivings as to whether either one will arrive worse for wear (although occasionally i do make some unintentional calls that way).
I must confess though, i am intrigued by the iPod Touch Skype hacks...

I still haven't gotten around to it, but my Nokia E61i is capable of doing that as well, not only that but also calling through any IM VOIP servce.
To top it off, I've never had to replace or repair my Nokias, they're tough and I'm quite clumsy. Barring the occasional scratch, there's nothing wrong with them.

Don't know about the iPod but there's an app called Fring for the Symbian 3rd Edition devices (N95 etc) and it's great, especially around Uni where there's WiFi for us students.
[note]Skype have also released a beta but haven't had much success with it yet[/note]
I doubt it. If it isn't intuitive then we need to fix it. - Chris Maunder

TruPhone works pretty well. There is also a "web text" (SMS) app. that uses up your free web text bundle (Irish only, not sure if American call plans include free web-texts.)
(I've got an old Nokia I use when riding/sailing/hiking. The iPhone has survived numerous drops but it is expensive to replace all the same.)
