Everyone I know who has an iPhone says it has literally changed their life; that no other gadget/phone/technology has made them so deliriously happy or completely content as the iPhone. As a solid Verizon customer, I put off getting an iPhone for an entire year. It was expensive, I was stuck in a contract, and it was a 1st gen. I will wait no longer. I went with the White 16GB.

The new iPhone 3G is twice as fast at half the price. "With fast 3G wireless technology, GPS mapping, support for enterprise features like Microsoft Exchange, and the new App Store, iPhone 3G puts even more features at your fingertips. And like the original iPhone, it combines three products in one — a revolutionary phone, a widescreen iPod, and a breakthrough Internet device with rich HTML email and a desktop-class web browser. iPhone 3G. It redefines what a mobile phone can do — again."

Wow. This phone does everything. It's beautiful. It runs unix. Apple's crack team has outdone themselves with an innovative UI to control a beyond-complete hardware package including motion sensors, light sensors, a proximity sensor (to detect when it's near your ear) and of course every other de rigeur gadget offered by a top-of-the-line smartphone. Unless that virtual keyboard sucks, this is the treo replacement I've been waiting for.

UPDATE: I've heard the iPhone may be a closed system. That is to say, you may not be able to create or install 3rd party software like you can for the treo. That would be a deal-killer. Let's hope Apple opens it up. Or maybe Safari is a good-enough development platform to support the proliferation of 3rd-party apps. (via engadget.com)

A phone with email is a must for a stylist. Whether it be an iPhone or a Blackberry, make sure you have one.

Computer with phone.

Have both the IPhone and Blackberry Curve. Aside from the TERRIBLE service offered by AT&T (some things never change), the phone is just a flat-out necessity for those who live on the cooler side of life. (via Apple)

This is not a phone - this is a pocket computer with the best user interface hands down

good

If you want people to notice you, get an IPhone. And wait to be called.
