I bought my in Thailand for the simple fact that it was cheap (payed 270€). I have to admit, it's very cool to play arround with it, but you have to install a bunch of crap in order to make it work "properly".
When you are used to a normal cellphone and switch to the iphone you lack alot of little options:
- issue with number recognition, had to install fix for it
- doesn't have sms delivery status
- no native MMS
- had to install a fix to disable the auto-correction
- doesn't show sms character limit
- typing is very crap, even with my little fingers
But, it does have alot of cool stuff though, you can install alot of 3d party applications, themes and games via the installer and it's fun to use.

Apple is infallible and all of their products are the best of their kind!

Is it a good mp3-player?
Considering an ipod but why not combine functionality, roight.
Might go the zen route, though.
The suspense is almost unbearable.

add to the list
-no tactile responsiveness on the damned thing, other than power. This is a huge hangup for me. I like my undo, hangup, forward / back music / browser and autodial hotkeys. Other than it being a big, sleek and shiny object that holds lots of music/video, my feeling is why not go with the Ipod touch and have a small phone for phone stuff?
It just seems like not only a phone / pda but especially a music device should be capable of operation without your absolute, undivided attention.

In some cases I will avoid a product simply because I don't want to be "one of those people". I'd rather have my perfectly capable blackberry phone than a device that I would never truly use but I have just because its the cool new fad. I don't know, something about Apple branded stuff just rubs me the wrong way.

It still runs on Windowd Mobile 6 which is a fucking joke. I have an HTC Touch 1st gen phone and had it crashed a zillion times.
