New iPhone owner...

Hey guys! Welcome to the DARK SIDE! LOL
It just amazes me that these phones sell as well as they do! I know of 2 people locally that got an iPhone due to AT&T adding 3G in our area recently. Plus I also know of a couple of more that will have one under the Christmas Tree.
My real one and only complaint is no multi-tasking beyond Apple's own software.

It has a great user interface. It also has tons of apps (99% of which are utterly useless).
Be prepared for lots of dropped calls. If you are on a fringe 3G area, you may want to set it to stay in 2G to help cut down on dropped calls.
My wife loves hers. It's very intuitive, and there are lots of user groups out there (and here) that will be able to help you get up and running.
Enjoy it!!

That's the big misunderstanding is that there is NO multitasking whatsoever. But the Apple software does multitasking quite well if you're on a call and writing a note or number down. I've used that several times myself. I do wish there was more multitasking among the 3rd party apps (or ANY for that matter) but it's not a major dealbreaker. I do notice apps like Wunderradio and the ESPN Radio app let you listen in the background while in other apps, so maybe that's the start of something. Remember, Steve Jobs once said the iPod would never do video. We all know how that turned out.
And you will have a lot of fun playing with the apps, and finding out what they can do. I can't wait to get the 3GS and check out augmented reality, I've seen screen shots that look really killer, and I would find it very useful.
I love walking around and listening to sirius live. I like that little app too. Its easy to use. I also like the internet radio, there are more channels, like my bootleg.
You know 2g/3g is just mobile internet service? I don't live within 70 miles of a 3g coverage area, and I get great phone service, compared to others around here. The iphone is a great convergence device that is remarkably reliable. Enjoy your phone.
Don't succumb to jailbreaking. Keep your iPhone pure and support the App Store.
I'm sure most, if not all, people who jailbreak their iPhone also buy apps from the app store.
With as many apps as there are in the app store, that do everything there is to do, there aren't many more reasons TO jailbreak. If you want to possibly void your warranty and subject your phone to more viruses, though, then by all means. Hope you like Rickrolls.

I support the app store and I JB. I don't JB to AVOID the App Store.

Jon, you are VERY uninformed my friend.
i see where you are going with that. so i will say speaking for myself only, every paid app that i have downloaded and installed for free, i bought eventually with the exception of the gps nav apps. its the ultimate try before you buy. (and the reason i buy is because the version i would currently be using would crash for no reason).Don't succumb to jailbreaking. Keep your iPhone pure and support the App Store.
and speaking of which, i can only recommend the sygic nav apps. there is a section of road near my house that has been completed for 7 years now and the sygic apps are the only ones to show this section. every other highly overpriced app (and even google maps) doesn't have this section shown.
