I haven't owned an iPhone before but had obviously heard of their great reputation. My first impressions are... it's amazing!
As with most Apple products the iPhone looks stunning and certainly has the wow factor. However for me the best thing about it is the way it will allow me to sync up with other applications such as my email, calendar, photos, contacts etc all without me having to do anything.
For example if I add a new appointment to the calendar on my iPhone, it will automatically be added to the calendar on my computer, and vice-versa. I can also check my emails wherever I am (to be fair I could do this before but the interface of the iPhone will make replying to emails 'on the go' so much easier - no more writing on a tiny screen). Internet browsing is also fast and, thanks to the huge screen, quite enjoyable (not the case with some of my older phones)
My ability to do these things however depends on stage two of my transition, moving from PC to Mac, which will start happening this Friday when I buy a new 24" iMac - more to follow on this when it happens!

The only potential stumbling block, or rather delay in all this, is how easily I am able to get a PAC code for my phone (allowing me to keep my existing number - which is invaluable to me) and a MAC code for my broadband connection so I can change providers.
This shouldn't be a problem but without naming names the existing provider of both my phone and broadband (same provider) are notoriously poor at allowing people to leave their clutches - even when their customers are no longer within contracts....
Fingers crossed my change over won't be too painful or frustrating...!
