Apple - iPhone 3G Cell Phone — 

I was a very loyal Palm User for the past 10+ years, and even when it came to music players, I stayed away from the iPod and was a loyal Creative product user.  Then when the iPod touch came out I finally gave in and bought one and I love it.  So when it came to the closeness between the Touch and the iPhone, I really fell in love with the interface.  I almost bought the original iPhone and then literally days before there was the announcement of the 3G version.  I was a Sprint customer and despite their horrible customer service and upgrade program, they had much better coverage in Chicago than AT&T.  They also seemed to always be ahead of the technology curve than all other wireless companies.  That is until now.  I switched to AT&T just to get the iPhone and for the most part I am not dissapointed.  LOVE the technology and interface of this phone.  It is very user-friendly in it's menu contruction.  Just press the button and the bottom of the screen and go back to the main menu whenever you want to go in a different direction.  The touch screen is very responsive and the plethera of applications available reminds me of the palm of years back.  The major downsides for me are the horrible battery life and the screen can be difficult to view in bright light.  Minor downsides are no movie player and not being able to check voicemail when useing a third party bluetooth car system.  The upsides & downsides of AT&T are their iPhone plans have rollover minutes and unlimited data for a reasonable price.  Downsides are terrible signal strength and coverage in the chicago area where I live.
