I have never cared much for Mac's.  I was not excited about the Iphone.  I DO love the Mac/PC commercials.. They are pretty darn funny.

So here is the story.  My Blackberry died.  I am and aways have been a die-hard Blackberry fan.  I have had blackberries back before anyone knew what they were (back when they were ONLY email devices).

My Blackberry died last Tuesday.  I went to the AT&T store.  My contract was not yet up -- I couldn't qualify for any good discounts on phones (don't get me started on that...).

Anyways, I walked out of the store with an IPhone for less than a replacement Blackberry -- PLUS the monthly service was about $30.00/month cheaper than my Blackberry plan.

I don't need TelNav because the IPhone has Google Maps integrated (no GPS but the cell towers work nearly as well).  That saved me $10/month.

And the unlimited data plan was much cheaper starting at $20.00/month compared to $60.00.  I added $10.00/month for 1500 text messages and I was still $30.00/month ahead.

I'm not sure how the pricing works across the country -- But I am very happy with the IPhone (unexpectedly).  The mail and browser work very well and it's the closest thing you'll get to a real browser.

You could easily use the IPhone to do things like view/manage your WebsiteForge orders and even use your credit card gateway like Linkpoint and Authorize.net with the IPhone to process credit cards. Our Project Portal System works perfectly there too.

Just figured I'd share my experience!
