Ok, so I got the I phone 3gs 32gig 2 weeks ago. What people don't understand, and I didn't understand is how this really isn't a phone..... I mean you can talk on it...but after you get it, you start to realize how this is really the coolest computer you have ever in your hands.

I played with it 3 days straight, doing emails on it, looking up deals on the Internets, taking a crap ton of pictures and VIDEO! of my dogs. When I sat down on my computer I actually tried to "flick" the page with the mouse pointer like I had been doing with my I phone and my finger! I had to download an add on for my firefox browser so that I can do that now because it's so nice to be able to do!

The Good:
*the apps that use gps location are very nice.
-yellow book: I can be driving in an unknown city, and type in AutoZone, and it will give me all the auto zones in a 25 nm area, with the ability to call with a tap of a button, get directions on googlemaps with a tap, and even rate it.

-goggle ap: google talk, google mail, google calendar, ETC! I actually read all my email on my iphone now because I find it easier to navigate and faster to go though and delete emails, and organize them etc.

tapster: It allows you to post where speed traps are located in your area. it's gps location based and allows you to see where cops hide! it's crazy! could be better, but it's a great concept.

and that's just a few FREE ones to write about.

*I found out about rateitall.com when I looked up a few cheap vodkas to see what one would be the best, and I found it here, while at the store, and made a decision in like, 1 minute.

*The pictures and video, aren't going to be as good as your canon, or Nikon BUT it's good enough that you don't ever use others. I was thinking about buying a flip ultra HD because I love to take videos, but I'm not going to now. Even if it is better quality video, I'm not going to carry it on me all the time like I do my phone. I'm assuming that in the future, this is going to be something that is going to be upgraded to the point that you'll be able to film a reality TV show with it, but till then, its good enough.

The thing that I really really really like about the camera feature is it's so great for the lazy person, to transfer the pics and videos. you can record a video, and have it uploaded to you tube and able to be watch on you tube in less than 3 minutes when connected to WIII FIII.

the Photobucket ap is good, 2, you can click a picture and have it uploaded in no time, with ease. No more connecting the camera, sorting though the pics, resizing them etc, just send it wirelessly with a tap. only problem is I haven't figured out how to send more than one pic at a time to Photobucket, I'm sure you can but I need to figure that out still.

THE BAD:
it's expensive! you got to put some type of case on it , and screen protector or you will probably have a video on you tube showing your reaction after you drop it for the first time. and the police are probably going to use it as evidence against you on how you are clearly the person that punched the old lady in the face just because she was closest.

video could be better quality, more of a fps issue to me than the actually resolution. The photos are I would say really really good if not great. please don't complain on how it doesn't have a zoom.. it's not physically possible to put an optical zoom in a space that small and have it do some good or cost a billion dollars. maybe in the future, but I'd like it to still be able to fit in my pocket thanks.

The itunes ap store could really use some help. it's hard to know what's really a great ap, or not from there. I always hit up the internet to find out which to check out. But apple could really spruce that up.

the cable plug in. Do we really have to plug this thing in for data transfer if we have it connected to the same wifi network? I mean come on. we should be able to put this in a dock, and have it charge and data transfer without actually connecting it with a wire like the palm pre. first person to make and adapter to do this, wins a million dollars!

ok so to conclude, it's a great device. I'm a pilot that returns home every night, but carry a laptop with me all the time just in case I have to stay in a hotel. Not anymore.
