The more I use it the more I like it. The interface is great and typing on it is getting easier.

I also really like the fact that I now have an iPod with a built in speaker. Took the kids on a bike ride yesterday and packed a picnic lunch. We sat down to eat and I was able to put some music on for everyone.

I was also able to surf the web while the kids were playaing at the playground.

Some small gripes about the email interface with my gmail account. Unlike on gmail, I can't force the iPhone to show a different "sent from" email account other than the gmail address. I use gmail to push my business email to and would like the return address to by my work email account. I will have to look to see if there is a way around this.

I am also having some wifi connection issues at home still which seem to be related to my brand of router. Others are having the same issue when I posted a thread on one of the forums. I may pick up a new router that others have had success with to see if it helps.

I also like the integration of Google maps with the live traffic data. I still think the iPhone should have some type of integrated GPS hardware so that it knows exactly where you are as soon as you pull up Google maps.

The ability to touch a phone number in an email or on a web page and have the phone immediately dial the number is also really cool.

The Edge network is slow but not horrible. I wouldn't want to do any intense web browsing like YouTube, but for playa.info, yahoo, and most the other sites I go to it is fine. Faster than dial-up but slower than broadband.

The iPhone will also seemlessly switch to a known wifi when available.

I just can't get over the integration of all the different applications into this small portable device. Very nice product.

I bought mine tonight.

Synching it now, adding Mexico photo to it and selected music playlists.

Way to go, Roni!
A lens (for my camera) that I have been waiting to become available, just became available so I bought it. Probably a good thing as I have been looking at motorcycles and the iPhone.
Look forward to hearing more from you about it.
