need a new phone and my friends are telling me to get an iPhone, but I've heard a bunch of things about products made by apple. "The Batteries fry after 2 years", "they brake very easily and are hard to replace" etc.

In Short: should i get an iPhone?

or like Maddox says: get an E70?

Nooo... I thought that the (mandatory) data plans are ridiculously expensive.

I have one, it's cool. Takes time to get used to but it's worth it. Build quality is superb, I have dropped it 3 times and I only have one small dent as a result. The best thing about it is that it's a chick magnet. I love all the attention I get from the ladies for having this phone.

Personally I believe that the price is rather higher than it should be. If you really want one you should wait til the second generation ones come out and people start flogging the first generation one at a reduced price.

The phone is amazing, but AT&T sucks.

Ah yes, I forgot to mention that you should wait for iPhone 2. One of the major cons of the iPhone is lack of 3G and it is a big problem, trust me. If you need a phone now though then I would say go for it. $400 may seem expensive but think about all the features you are getting, the video iPod alone made it worth it for me, I like the screen on the iPhone a lot better than the touch.

I would wait for the new model it will probably come with built in GPS and voice recognition and all the things that were left off of the first iPhone other then that I think its pretty sweet.

People that say it's expensive haven't done any research. The iphone itself is more than a blackberry, treo, or WinMo but the plans are cheaper. I was planning to get a blackberry to replace my WinMo phone and found out the iPhone works out to be the cheapest Smartphone after 18 months since the data plan is $15 less for the iPhone than the others. The only place you're going to find a cheaper smartphone+data plan is with T-Mobile where the data plans cost the same but the phone is about $150 less (for a BB Curve).

And the people that say it's junk fail to mention the customer satisfaction surveys where the iPhone kills every other phone and the Consumer Reports article that ranked the iPhone the highest.

No matter what, DO NOT GET A WINDOWS MOBILE PHONE.Mine is without a doubt the worst electronic device I've ever owned by a mile, and I'm not exaggerating.

You shouldn't, but not for those reasons.

It's overpriced and the phone plans are terrible.
