I still don't get what flavoraid is but I do get how good the iPhone is.

I like my black Berry but the IPhone is sooooooo cool.

Congrats!!!!

I'm "just" a 3G. I have the MobileMe set up as a back up to all my current operation working files - then with the iDisk app I can access anything I have on MobileMe. If a builder needs a PDF of a set of plans printed again - copy/paste the PDF into and email to the print shop [send] wooosh (the sound of emails sent.)

You will have fun fitting this technology into your life.

Probably just play games and websurf on it when I get rain delayed. Scheduling and contacts are my biggest uses. My ipod finally bit the dust, and I was going to buy an ipod touch to replace it, I figured WTH...may as well get the iphone....

And I had an account that was wayyyyy overdue. HO kept jerking me around. I talked to some collection agencies, they all wanted 40%

I called the HO, left a message informing him this would be my last call, and was basically just a courtesy to let him know I was sending everything into collections. I didn't really expect anything to come of it, I figured he was a deadbeat, BUT-Later that day, I had a nice fat Paypal payment! so I decided to blow the 40% the collection agency would have got.

A new phone was kinda/sorta necessary, Had my AT&T Tilt for two years, and it's starting to have issues, but I'll probably kick myself for not buying a ruggedized phone...

I also bought a much needed digicam-Olympus Tough 6000 and a totally unnecssary purchase of a Sony Reader. But I cancelled my cable and have been reading a lot more lately.

What kind of issues? Mine tilt is just hanging out now... touch screen went but it was not the lcd/digitizer (something unknown) and the answer button rarely works. I since bought the LG incite and then a blackjack 2. I needed a hard keyboard. As much as I like touch screens I think it will be awhile before I get one again. Jobsites are too hard on them.
