I just gave up my Treo,but couldn’t stand in line for the iPod. I went with ATT Tilt. Same 3G and international capability, with a really neat keyboard. I’ll have to wait to see what Apple apps I’m giving up.

Kent-

I love my iPhone. There is NOTHING better for mobile internet browsing. I use Twitterific for Twitter but now I’ll have to try Twinkle.

I have only two frustrations with my iPhone.

1) There is no voice recognition so I can’t just tell my handsfree to “call Kent.”

2) If someone sends me a picture via MMS (multimedia message) it doesn’t go to my phone (it goes to a website and gives me an id and password).

Related to 2 I have to email pictures I can’t just send them via MMS. Some engineer at Apple decided that we didn’t need MMS capability on a phone with an email client and forgot about the rest of the world (that might not have an email client on their phones!).

Oh – I LOVE that it’s so shiny – did you mention that?

I’ve found that the key to typing is knowing that the letter doesn’t get entered until you lift your finger. One gets adept at sliding over to the side if a wrong letter is pressed. Still, I’m shocked that no one is selling a dock-able physical keyboard yet.
