New number:

I'd like to point out that I made a full year without an iPhone. Mostly out of sheer lack of cash and a super-great plan with Sprint (500 minutes, unlimited everything else for $32 a month), but none-the-less, I made it.

A month ago, the Company told me that they'd no longer give me $50 a month for my $32 a month cellular plan, I knew it was time. I was going to have to switch over to the company plan on AT&T anyway, so the iPhone was the natural option.

Overall, the first week with this phone has been quite good. Basically, everything you read about how this is the best phone ever, and really even the nickname of Jesus-Phone, all ring very true. And if your AT&T Business Rep offers to just send you one so that you don't have to wait in line, DO IT! (Thanks Neal!)

Like most Apple products, this thing just works. Features are implemented properly, almost like this device was created by someone who actually might use it. I don't know what it is, but some cellphones and their sucky interfaces just make you wonder who in the hell actually thought this was a good idea.

So I'll end my mini-review by just saying that all the wonderful things you hear about the iPhone is completely true. It's simply the best phone available. Yes, the battery life does suck compared to the old monochrome-screened phones that people seem to reminisce about. But it still kicks the ass of every other 3G device.
