Thanks for the info, Philip. I used Apple computers at work and at home, and had only just started considering an iPhone this afternoon after stopping by a cellphone store while running errands today. This store was pushing the Blackberry Curve, and this had me starting to search online for comparable devices. Thus I ended up looking online at iPhone specs and reviews.

You're right -- there are a lot of issues to consider. If I'm going to get internet service for email and browsing, I like the idea of having a full-fledged browser (Safari in this case).

I'm going to make a list of needs, uses, nice-to-have's and weigh them against the expense and my other priorities.
