Our contract was up and I went and got my wife the Blackberry Storm. I've been a fan of the iphone, but after playing around with her phone(while she's not around - very possessive of her new phone
 ) I must say that it is also a very impressive smart phone. I may just have to get my own.

i cannot believe how bias you people are. they are absoolute GARBAGE. if the reason you want an iphone os to playgames etc then fine but the actual phone itself is trash. id sooner carry walkie talkies than an iphone. JUST IMO. i dont own one but my best friend does. half the time it doesnt ring the other half the calls are dropped. like i said above, if the phone funtion itself is not what your interested in the go ahead. my buddy is a mega dork and he is not satified at all. everything works great EXCEPT THE PHONE. (isnt that the whole point of a mobile PHONE???)

My wife and i both have the New HTC touch pro's. The only positve things with these phones are they are windows based so it is like have a pc in your phone. Nice for me as i work out of town but i can sit at my desk and surf the net etc just like sitting on my computer...
Great reception and never any issues with it yet so far!!

I have been thinking about a iphone when my telus contract is up a buddy of mine has one and he loves it never had any problem with it dropping calls as far as I know. But I dont know about rogers service who is using Rogers right now and how are they to deal with. How is the cell reception are there many problems with dead zones? Telus is real good for the service area I have been back behind Mission 4 wheelin and still been able to call out.

I have an original version HTC Touch. and I cant wait till my contract is up. It's a good PDA and the like, but the cell range sux, and the screen is sensitive when your talking and it starts activating things when touching your ear LOL

I LOVE my iphone LOVE IT!!! I have had lots of phones and usually there is something that it lacks or I don't really like. I can put my own ring tones onto it, surf the net, facebook in bumper to bumper traffic, and just about anything else. I use it when I am working to listen to music and can check email at a jobsite.
I think it si the best investment for a phone you can have. I have never had any sort of buyer's remorse what so ever.

Yeah I have had the off problem with a call being dropped. Making calls is about the least used feature on my phone. Only ever really talk to my wife here and there. Camera does also suck on them but that's why I have an SLR.

The thing to note is the the iphone is not a phone. It is a small portable computer that has a phone built into it. As far as i can tell the problem with most of the others is that they are built by phone companies and are phones with the other features added in. I think Apple came at it from a very different perspective and that's why they have built such a fantastic device. The app store now has over 15,000 different applications you can download (some for free and some at a small cost) so there is probably an app for just about anything you might want to do with it.
I love my iphone and wouldn't trade it for anything else currently available. It works extrememly well and has tons of functionality for something that fits in your pocket. Yeah, i can make calls wit it. But I can also surf the net, check my emails, use google maps to navigate, listen to my music, watch movies on it, play games, gauge the performance of my car, let my kids play or draw sketches on it or watch spiderman in a long check out line and on and on... the iphone is really leaps and bounds ahead of anything else out there. The only negative with buying a new one is you are trapped with Rogers for three years. If you can hold off for a year then there will be more competition in the GSM market in Canada and you will probably be able to get a better deal on one. Or if you can find a 1st generation iphone like I have you can unlock it and go on a month to month plan instead of being trapped into a 3 year prison term. Actually, you can now unlock iphone 3Gs too but finding one to buy on eBay etc. will probably cost you and arm and a leg.
