I got mine when they were first introduced so of course there are many newer hotter phone out there now but I honestly couldnt live without it! Its my computer, planner, my everything all in one sleek little tablet. I use the app's more then i use the actual phone lol The only downsides I have ever experienced are the battery doesnt stay charged for very long even when your hardly using any apps or the phone or ipod itself and it crashes a lot and needs a hard reset to get things functioning again. I also find that apples customer service line needs a major overhaul. If you sign a 3 year contract with the phone the company should honor that and offer 3 year customer service if you have any problems but they dont. I am totally sticking with the iPhone brand and couldnt function without it!

The iPhone broke ground in 2009 when Apple launched it's first version - the 3G. Being the inpatient, have-to-have-it-NOW person I am, I renewed my contract for 3years and got the phone for $149. I can't imagine living without it now. When I leave it at home I instantly regret not having immediate access to email. I also have a habit of leaving the house without knowing exactly where I'm headed, so I use my phone for directions. I'm not a big app person, but I use basic utilities like the calculator (which is so easy to use with such a big screen), calendar and iPod. Even for simple phone functions, the iPhone makes these super-easy, i.e.: visual voicemail, texting with a landscape keyboard and searching through hundreds of contacts.

It's a sexy Apple product - aren't they all - that sucked me in instantly. Now I'm kicking myself because the newest version - iPhone4 - is SO much cooler and now I want that.

The only major complaint I have is the service, which is likely due to my service provider - Telus. My 3G drops calls occasionally and can be crackly at times. Since I moved out of my 9th story condo, these issues have lessened.

Excellent phone for an on the go person who needs to stay connected.

I've had a cute little white iPhone for several months after having a blackberry for years and I'll admit I do like the iPhone better. While I found my blackberry more reliable and easier to type with, the iPhone just has so much more functionality and it's much better for web browsing. I have to log into ChickAdvisor all the time and the Blackberry would take so long to load the pages I'd give up. With my iPhone it's instant. I'm not going to give a full technical overview but here's how it stacks up to the BBerry:

What BBerry does better:
- Typing. It's soooo much easier to tap out an email with this thing vs. the iPhone where I struggle to hit the letters right and it always guesses (and then proceeds to auto fill) the wrong words. I've sent many nonsensical emails from it.

- The camera has a flash. iPhone does not

- The BBerry automatically downloads your emails all the time in the background. The iPhone does not. You have to have your email open in order for it to download. If like me you get a ton of emails, this is a pain.

What iPhone does better:
- Hey, it just looks cooler!

- Web browsing is 10X easier and faster

- Much better for listening to music.

- Tons of cool aps

- Very easy to configure

Overall I prefer my iPhone, though I hope they will eventually fix the things I mentioned.

I loved my phone when i first got it, but have run into plenty of unusual problems...
I no longer can look at my pictures on my phone and it freezes up and restarts all the time. This isnt such a big issue because apple has a m a z i n g customer service and replaces the phone if there is any problem at all. just wanted to let everyone know what has been happening with my phone... - caitlin.xo
