So what is the overall quality?

Um... Sure there are some problems, but I am pretty impressed with the overall functionality. My Razor and Palm 130m are history, for the most part. I'm a little upset that tasks don't sync yet, but as a 20+ year user of Macs, I'm pretty sure they'll come up with a fix.

Find someone who has one and play with it... You'll understand why, even with all that is lacking, nothing compares.

Well said. Answer your question, http://discussions.apple.com/profile.jspa?userID=926502?

I'm on my iPhone right now typing this and I love it. You can do so much and the EDGE network is surprisingly fast. It's great and even the controversial keyboard is fantastic!!!

Ya I like the keyboard now. At first I make alot of mistakes but I'm used to it now, and I am starting to trust their proofreading tools, it does really well in detecting your intended words.

I agree! I'm typing faster now on my iPhone than I ever was using my Blackberry! The iPhone is simply fantastic!

I love my new iPhone! I have always had trouble since moving to our new house last year, but since getting my iPhone I get a much better signal (than, blackberry, razor, or nokia 9300). I have been with this ever changing (sbc, cingular, at&t) cell provider for a long time (since 1989) and have had everyone I call tell me this phone sounds better that any other I've had. Cell phone service quality is different for everyone due to geography, but for me and where I live I give a 100% rating so far.
