My vote is for an i-Phone. Am waiting for my Verizon contract to expire to get one.
Apparently you can now even make calls with an iPhone 4 with the Verizon network (I've heard that the iPhone was having some problems with the AT&T network). I don't think the iPhone has particularly good talk times or standby times and isn't very rugged for outdoor use and is extremely expensive i.e. upto 4-5x the ownership cost of other capable mobile smartphones.
Typcially an iPhone 4 will cost around £480 compared to £100 for a ruggedised Samsung B2710.
