Although I disagree. It's a great gadget, true. But a crap phone? I dial the number and can speak to whoever answers... What else is a phone supposed to do?

I tried the iPhone and hated it - I want a real keyboard for typing on rather than hammering a screen and getting it wrong still. I also missed text forwarding and bulk sending of text messages.
I'm very pleased with my G1 (although I wish they would do a Skype chat application for it outside the US). Can't think of anything more that I want out of a phone or browser really.
Go and play with them all and see what you like, though - one man's meat is another man's poison.
i've got a 2g and had it since feb. i hate it. i hate the keyboard, lack of MMS, lack of battery life, the lack of compatibility to my stereo head unit that was 1mth old than the phone (the iphone isnt compatible, but ipod is).
Saying that, i rarely use my laptop to use the net at home and the apps are good!
As far as surfing goes, there is no phone of the market that comes close to the iphone.
Best to hold your wallet and wait till probably end of Jan just incase Apple will be making/announcing some changes to the iphone3g (e.g mms, bigger memory, better camera).
As you would expect - I looked at loads of options inc the HTC touch, Storm, G1, before going with the iPhone. Never, ever again will I go win-mo, the Storm is utterly pants, seriously. The G1 has great software packaged in hardware that looks & feels like a GCSE CDT project.
So the iPhone it was. Sure, it's not perfect - my biggest gripes are: No SD/MSD slot, no MMS, no txt forwarding, no flash player (but it's in dev), no cut&paste (rumours abound that Apple will sort this) the 1 day battery life (tip: switch off wifi and 3G when you're not using it) and the camera (adequate only).
None of the above are showstoppers for me - new apps appear seemingly in their hundreds each week, with each software update things get a little smoother and extra features appear - there's a groundswell of petitioning for the missing features anyway - and the product design & quality feel is way above and beyond the competition.
No brainer. Agree in hindsight I should have gone for the 16GB as mentioned above. That is all.
