In two years it’ll cost me at least $2500! but it’s still way better than my last phone.

PROS:

• Smart virtual keyboard
• Internet browser
• Nice calendar
• Gesture limit feedback
• Contact meta data customization
• Contact list scrolling
• Type hierarchy
• Turn -by-turn directions
• WiFi
• Fluid UI transitions
• Ability to email pictures
• Magnify Glass for text cursor placement

CONS:

• Volume
  (way too quiet - maybe it’s broken)
• Key layout
  (delete next to enter)
• Minimal UI breadcrubs with no back buttons
  (you suddenly will jump to another section with no way back)
• No flash support
  (take 10 steps back on that one)
• 2 year contract with AT&T to use phone
  (unless you have bad credit - then you can do a month-to-month contract : link )
• Accidental cancellation
  (be sure to save progress often before you accidentally hit the cancel button)
• Expensive toy
  (there is no good reason you NEED one)
• No memory or battery access
  (you HAVE to sync your data - not retrieve it. Battery replacement takes 3 days, $90, and erases all your data : link)
• No copy and paste
• Widgets are web based on html and javascript in safari only
  (ui nightmare - hindered experience)
• Apple didn’t make any widgets out the gate
  (you know it’s bad when they can’t make any “sweet” apps)
• It crashes way too often
  (if any page in Safari crashes, everything closes and sends you back to the menu - even non-Safari apps)

• iPhone Interface in JavaScript
• iChat for iPhone in JavaScript
• Google Reader iPhone Skin

• Quip
