20 Reasons I?m Happy with the iPhone ~ Chris Pirillo

I can relate. Especially to these:

1.Jeez, you can?t deny that Apple raised the bar a zillion miles past any other kind of mobile device experience.

3. The photo app snaps the shot when you release the button, not when you press it. There?s no lag in this case, and that?s a small touch I wasn?t really expecting.

9. Despite my many years of using devices that allowed me to install third-party software, I?m somewhat not very disappointed that Apple hasn?t released an SDK for people to potentially mar the elegance presented in this simple package. Web site services are fine for now. Same holds true with the customization options. I?m at the point where I just want something that works

10. Gah. Zooming in and out of anything shouldn?t be this much fun. It?s a crime. Flipping for the sake of flipping is also flipping nutty. Why, WHY does this have to be so? addictive?

11. I thought I wouldn?t like another touchscreen device, but the iPhone proved me wrong (thus far). The keyboard is a bit crazy, and predictive text could be better handled, but this really is a joy to touch (you have to try it in person - the commercials don?t do it justice).

12. Apple has already released a firmware update and? it was mindnumbingly simple to implement. I wanted to cry. I?m not an iTunes fan, but damn they really hit it out of the park with what was previously a very painful experience for ANYBODY.

No, it's still not a device I can recommend to just anybody (Blackberry still beats it in many ways), but it's by far the coolest, most refined version 1 device I've ever owned. That Blackberry advantage won't last long.
