I'm kinda bummed out because I wanted to buy the Samsung SCH-u740 and it doesn't seem to be supported. I currently have the old SCH-a670 and BitPim works great. I could never get the free internet thing working. It would be a pain to browse the web on it anyway. At least the iPhone has an actual browser and works with normal web. Not that I really need it. Wikke - I second that. You can actually buy a MacMini for the same price - or a low end Dell desktop. Add another $500 to this, and you have yourself a new MacBook or a lower end Dell laptop.

I guess it is the geek in me that loves all the technology inside. I recently moved to Verizon and got an LG VX8300 for free (two actually, one for my wife as well). I found a little program called <a href="http://www.bitpim.org" rel="nofollow">BitPim</a> that allowed me to hack the phone and configure it for free internet access (It uses minutes, but not the extra internet charge). It alos had a microSD slot, so putting my music on it is a breeze. I have almost all the same capabilities as the iPhone. Mine may not be as pretty, but it is just as functional. Oh, did I mention that I can actually make phone calls? ;-) I really want an iPhone, but I can’t justify it to even myself! I guess it is the geek in me that loves all the technology inside.

Only differences are the portability (maybe) and the call functionality (maybe)... My current cell phone also has a lot of features, which is nice, but i don't use them a lot, so why pay more than twice as more for a bit extra? Oh, yeah, because it's Apple :p I’d rather save a little more money and buy me a good laptop. Only differences are the portability (maybe) and the call functionality (maybe)…

They are always almost forcing you to have all their products/software once you buy the first one. I would rather wait for similar models from other companies that would allow me to choose the telecom company, to use other resources of the cell without it being connected to a line, and to put and play any common and accepted standard.
