I won't be spending $500-600 on a phone unless it's gonna tell me where I am. I like the iphone, but I still can’t believe they didn’t put a gps in it.

Don't you want an FM receiver built in? Yes, there was a comment on another blog where the reviewer listed "no integrated FM radio" as a CON. I think we should ship people like that to Utah. Er, Wyoming. Yeah, I meant Wyoming. Jon, you’re so soft on techology!

Do any of the phones you mention automatically join open wifi networks? Have visual voicemail that can be replayed like an iTunes song (rewind again and again by touch to just the spot you need to repeat)? I can't respond to the Q or XV6700, but you should play with an iPhone. I'd love to hear your comments of comparison. Sara, have you touched an iPhone?

The screen isn't as big as the iPhone but my husbands Verizon XV6700 is bigger. And it has the touchscreen too. I'm still wowed by the Smartphones. And I can upgrade the Windows Mobile OS very easily. Don't get me wrong, the iPhone is great, but it's not revolutionary.

People drop cell phones all the time.. I would think the iPhone is just as fragile as an iPod (or more so).. I’m just worried about durability.

There is one button on-screen to push to take the picture. That's it.

I about drooled all over one at the Apple store yesterday. It worked as good-if not better- as the Apple instructional video. Amazing. Is it just me or does this feel like we are at the beginning of a major technology breakthrough? I look forward to more "real-life" reviews of the next big thing. Congrats on the purchase.
