I've owned one since the beginning and I've never had a problem with it. That thing gets used more then my computers and half the time I write in these forums it is from my iphone while I'm out and about. Earlier in it's life cycle I picked up a 4gb version too just to tinker with the mods and everything else and it was miserable. Unlocking wasn't hard to do along with jailbreaking it, but the iphone went from a really useful piece of tech to complete junk once I started putting "3rd party" programs on it. After that I restored it and now it sits in my dresser. My 8gb has remained up to date and is on the AT&T service. I've never had a problem and love damn near everything about it. As for the internet being slow, it can be, but if you can't wait 10-15 seconds for a page to load up you need to go get some therapy. Also I'd say 90% of the time I'm hooking up to others WiFi and I can cruise the internet as fast as my laptop can. Also I'll have to find the link but I guess the EDGE network is getting a speed bump here shortly. Its going from something like 250kbps to 550 kbps. Anywho, if you are going to wait for the 3g version I'd start saving now, I have a feeling those are not going to be cheap, but I'd definitely have to recommend the iPhone itself because it is a quality piece of hardware and the interface is incredibly easy.

My brother has an ip[hone. Its good for youtube etc, but the bluetooth sucks. You can't send or recieve anything, i think the bluetooth is for use with headsets etc, thats it.
Get something else, man.

It was worth $900 when it came out. Now it's worth maybe $200-$300 imo...I wouldn't buy it I don't think. Do some research

Its not the standard 8800 - its a new version called the 8800 'Arte'. Its made from special materials, or so crap like that.
The limited edition has a shappire gem as the main button, and is currently worth over £1100 
Im not going for it though, it has limited features like the original 8800.

I LOVE my iPhone. I have had no problem at all...and use it more than I use my laptop! I haven't unlocked it...but have considered it. Haven't gotten to that yet. The internet is slow on the AT&T network, but now dial-up slow. Bluetooth works AWESOME for headset...and that's what I use it for. All-in-all...it's the best phone/PDA I've EVER owned.
