It's thinner than the current iPhone and a little narrower and shorter, but the screen isn't much smaller.

I work for myself and I'm big into social networking, the iphone means I can do this on the run.

There are various apps that I can use to keep up with my business, evernote, facebook, twitterfon, linkedin. I don't need to cary an ipod round with me as I can load my tunes, video and podcasts via the iphone.

I have last.fm for random tunes and don't miss the radio.

My contacts list is detailed enough, and links the phone and sms well, and I have 4 email accounts that I can track and keep an eye on, so I never miss any queries or business.
I've a voice recorder for taking notes for back in the office, can use the map to get to a destination.

I have games on for when my kids are bored whilst I'm driving or can watch a film on the train.

I do miss a decent camera, but I can load a lot of pics of my kids for when I do the proud mummy bit and although I don't have the app I think there is one you can use as a video camera.

I had a viewty for two weeks (actually I need to sell it on) but quickly changed to the iphone once I realised how much I could use it for my business.

The battery lasts me a whole day but for saying I do so much on it I'm not complaining, my ipod never lasted much more than that on constant play! I just keep the usb leead in my bag and have a car charger to boost it now and again.

Cos you haven't got one that's why
i was thinking of getting one but the camera is crap and plus you can only send and recieve photos via email it doesn't do MMS or so i am led to believe

Clearly you've never read the bible story of being tempted by apple? Don't do it though! It will lead to bad, bad things.

I have to agree that Tuner and in particular Wunder Radio are superb for listening to radio from all over the world. You do access it by edge or 3G connection but you don't just listen to internet radio stations; thousands of normal stations are available. I also love Beejive. It's an instant messenger application that you can use to connect to Yahoo, MSN, AIM, Google Talk and many others. For me the only part of the iPhone that is lacking is the camera. I've got a regular camera though so it's not the end of the world.

I've got the 16gb version and so i have roughly 2000 tracks on my phone as well as lots of useful apps and lots of games. I wouldn't be without my iPhone.

I'm waiting for the "iphone Shuffle". No screen, & it dials your contacts at random

Talking of iPhones...

Rumour has it, a minor update of the iPhone to 32 gig, is in the pipeline. Possibly as early as January.

When they do, I will be getting one on PAYG. I need 32 gig! 16 is soooo last year.
