I ended up with a ~$200 phone bill for the month but that wasn't too bad considering I did do a good bit of calling. thomas – I’ve taken my iPhone (now 3G version) to Italy and turned off data roaming so I wouldn’t get raped on charges, but I did roam for voice and it worked fine.

I strongly reccomend you first get a screen protector that covers the whole glass not just the screen. then go to www.iskin.com and get the case they have for the iPhone. it is perfectly molded to the phone and dosent allow dirt or dust in. i know from experience that this case is the best one to get.

However, I often find myself typing with one hand rather than two thumbs like I used to with the BB, so I don't think I was as fast as I was with the BB. @Blake – it took about 2-3 weeks but I’m pretty good with the iphone keyboard now.

Out of interest how many names have you got in there? and regarding searchability of email - you can always jump into the browser version for going through gigs of archived emails instead (I'm not aware of an imap or pop search tool, do you know of any?) @dazza: regarding the alarm, please, you select to turn off all sounds for a reason.

I came from BB land and the iPhone is so far behind the times. The address book has neither search nor the ability to type in names to get to the one you want (like the BB). Perhaps I've got too many contacts in the address book, but typing a name into an email address field slows down the system while it searches for appropriate matches. This is just the beginning of my list of ways the iPhone is not ready for prime time. It's simply not a very "smart" device. On the Blackberry alarm clock, if you have the BB set on vibrate, it is smart enough to know to emit a sound when waking you up. If you set the iPhone alarm clock and leave the phone on vibrate, it simply vibrates. Duh. I could go on. Don't be an apple lemming, wait. Don’t buy it.
