...and its pretty sweet and a very good phone, but I hardly think its the best “smartphone” ever.  As a smartphone, it still leaves quite a bit to be desired.  I've been using Windows Smartphones for a few years and I think they are superior phone/PDA combos.  They just have more power and the iPhone has better usability, so both platforms have work to do.

Here's my pros and cons list after a month or so of use.

Pros:

• It sure is pretty.  The screen is hands down the finest I have ever seen on a portable device.
• I'm down to a single device.  Years ago, I used to carry a phone, appointment book, and CDs.  Then it was a phone, PDA, and memory cards.  Then a phone and an iPod.  Now just the phone.
• It has a full browser and the zoom feature and landscape mode are great.  No more viewing mangled, reformatted pages on a tiny little screen.
• Visual voicemail is sure to become the must-have feature for every phone on every carrier. 

Cons:

• No 3G network.  Come on, WTF!
• No more no look dialing since there aren't any tactile buttons.  No voice dial either.
• No multitasking.  For example, if I click a web page link in an email, then want to got back to the email after viewing the web page, I have to go back to the home screen then back into email.
• No cut and paste.  If find an address on the web, I have to remember it to type into the Maps application.  And since theres no multitasking, this can be a pain.  I've actually reached for a PostIt to scribble the address down.
• Most of the apps are crap.  Clock, calculator, stocks, and weather are just plain silly. 
  • The alarm on the clock doesn't go off if the phone's asleep, which it does after 5 min. 
  • The weather might show a cute little storm cloud for the day after tomorrow, but I can't click it to see if its morning or evening rain, what the % chance is, etc. 
  • I don't own any stocks, but I guess that's Apple's idea of a “buisness application.“
  • The calendar won't let me set an appointment reminder more than 2 days ahead.  If I want to be reminded of a birthday so that I can buy a present, 2 days notice leaves me screwed.
  • I have to go into the Phone to see my address book.
• Teeny, tiny little buttons.  Some are like the size of a match head.  I don't have big hands, but some of these little buttons are right next to other buttons and since the touchscreen is so “revolutionary“ I can't use a pen or stylus to tap them - it has to be a finger.  Mmmmm, wintertime is going to be exciting whenI try to make a call with gloves on.
• Zero customization.  Oh, I'm sorry I can pick the wallpaper, which is viewable on the screen only when the phone is locked.  Let me remove the stupid You Tube button, it only works over WiFi anyway.  Or better yet, let me remove a bunch of buttons and just have really big buttons 2x2 on there.
• No custom ringtones?!  Its a freakin' iPod.
• A full browser.  Yep, it's a con too.  Some websites don't show their mobile content because they see that I'm using a full browser.  Sometimes I just want the quick mobile version.
• $600.  'Nuff said.

So I really do like the iPhone.  Over time, some of my complaints my be fixed with firmware upgrades.  Version 2 will certainly address many more.  But I honestly think that a power user like me will only be happy when a powerful device like an MS Smartphone get the polished interface and “It just works”-ness of the Apple iPhone.
