I had the feeling that [oh man] I just spent way too much and I really didn't need to. But putting the iPhone to use changed my entire perception.

We'd like to know what you think of them! I thought I made a colossal mistake at the Softbank shop in Tokyo where I bought my iPhone.

And like you, I'm not looking back. Frankly, I should have made the move when it first launched. I bet 'standard' phones go the way of the dinosaurs.... I took the iPhone plunge about 2 months ago.

Had a look at the screenshots on their site and definately like the look of its interface. I'll give that a try as I've heard people say it's the best out there and I don't mind paying for apps.

This doesn't mean I don't like them, the G1 and the SE XPERIA look quite good.

I prefer a more native iPhone-like design for a Twitter client, which is why I adore Tweetie more than any other. It is not free but definitely well worth the price IMHO.

It was a rough breakup but I'm happier now, much prefer the interface i.e. sections for replies as reading it all in-line in Twitterfic was a chore after a while.

There is no better mobile browser than Mobile Safari. Coupled with the available apps, and you can clearly see why the iPhone is an excellent solution for all smartphone computing needs.

Being able to check my e-mail on the move no matter where I am, looking at traffic news (whilst a passenger) and quickly checking the likes of Twitter has been fantastic. I honestly can't see myself going back to a 'standard' cell phone. I made the smartphone move about 7mnth ago when I bought an iPhone and I've not looked back.
