Anyone having regrets buying the Iphone?

I am still not totally committed and considering other options.
I do really like a lot of the features but there are other things that bug me.
For example I miss how easy it was for me to get updated baseball scores on my sony I810.. one handed operation a couple of clicks and I had it.
I guess I would need to find a site that offers such info in a smaller package..
Let's face the full page web browser is nice when you need it but takes forever to download... Is there a way to get cut down versions of webpages so you can get what you need quicker?

Are there any other phones out there that have better features than the Iphone?

What about the balckberry curve?

regrets? No. Anyone that bought the phone had to realize that it is a first generation and things would be less than perfect. The question should have been: am I ready to take a leap of faith? Willing to wait for updates and hope for the best? It is the price of wanting to be at the cutting edge of technology.

In sbort, have faith. We are dealing with Apple here. The second generation will be a much better one probably. But I am pretty sure they won't let us "pioneers" down.

I have no regrets whatsoever. I had some minor issues but nothing that a little research couldn't fix.

I previously had a smartphone. I loved it because it had so many fantastic features, but over time I didn't take advantage of all of them. The iPhone has all the features that I'd use on a daily basis, like music and web browsing.

I will concur that the network is buggy, however I don't think there is such a thing as a "perfect network" (though I've heard Verizon comes pretty **** close). At any rate, I'm very happy. Absolutely no regrets!

Theres also mobileapp.espn.go.com

If you have not done so you should check out MockDock.com or appleopolis.com. Both sites have a very nice IPhone style UI that makes access to this sites very quick. I always keep a browser open to these sites. makes getting scores 1 or 2 click away

I have to say that my AT&T signal not nearly as good as Sprint was. I switched everyone in my family from Sprint to AT&T. We all have problems with dropped calls and very low signal. The AT&T map indicates strong coverage in this part of Wisconsin but it is very spotty. We can't make or receive calls from most areas within our house. AT&T says maybe there are trees in the "line of site" to the tower. We are going to give this a few months but if the signal receiption doesn't get better, we will most likely have 4 iphones for sale. I knew this was a risk with AT&T. Unfortunately it has already cost $1400 for contract terminations at Sprint.
