Tell me about the good and the bad. I'm considering getting one this afternoon and have gotten mixed opinions about it.

It's a phone that has good marketting but little features compared to some other phones on the market.

You can get better for much cheaper.

It's an amazing phone but it will make you cry when you have to pay the bills. That's what I've heard, anyway.

I dunno, could get a Samsung Smartphone. It's $400 vs the $600 an iPhone is (or last I heard they were $600).

Why pay so much for a cellphone anyways?

The iPhone, IMHO, was targeted at people who are already macheads. Someday, Apple will wake up and make a product that they can sell to a business customer. A client of mine has a iPhone and it is pretty neat, but since in cannot synch mail with Microsoft Exchange, it is useless as a business tool. I suppose it could POP mail down, but without ActiveSync you don't get all the other Exchange Features. Basically, if they has allowed Exchange support, we would have bought one for every employee in the company.

Good phone, but not worth the dough, IMHO.

I use a T-mobile Wing. It was $312 and the fee (with data service) is 39.99/month. Of course it is our business plan that we have 5 of them on, so for a individual it will probably be more. The Wing is a PDA first and a phone second, but it totally rocks. It has 100% real time sync with our Exchange Server... So not only do I get real time email anywhere I go, I get real time calendar updates, task list, contact info, et all... The phone part is neat too. I can go into contacts, find the person I am looking for and with one tap be dialing them...or emailing them.....or texting them....or chatting with them on Yahoo or MSN. I could go on, but you all might start to think I am a T-Mobile rep, which I am not.

we've had tmobile going on two years now. I am less than pleased with their service and less than pleased with my phone.
We drop calls ALL THE TIME and my phone (a razor) is a piece of CRAP.

I'm not one to get too into the phone gadget thing. All these new phones confuse the crap out of me. It takes me like, 15 minutes to text my niece back, so I NEVER text people.

My friend swore to me to go with a razor next time we renewed our contract. She SWORE her phone was great and she never dropped calls. So we did. We STILL drop calls and my phone is gross.

Just for the record, the phone is now $400.

I have one and I really do like it. To me, it is worth it. The only real downside is the edge network. But there are so many wireless hot spots these days, it's not too bad.

Well, my husband went and bought me an iphone yesterday and so far I love it!

I don't need it for work related stuff (just email and such) and school. So I don't have a lot of the needs to business owners would.

My husband is looking into getting one in a few weeks (he is an IT server admin) because he has to be available for contact 24/7 though phone or email.

This phone replaced my RAZR (I was on my fourth replacement and couldn't take it anymore). I bought my phone in Feb and had that many problems with it. When I called this time and the rep told me I had to take the same make and model again I thought I was going to blow up. After you have replaced your phone three times they have to allow you to get a different type of phone if you wish. To the poster who is having problems --- call your provider and they should change it out for you with NO questions asked.

Good Luck!
