Eh, I think they're cool but over-rated. I prefer NOT being connected to the outside world most of the time, this way people at work don't expect me to check e-mail and the like when I'm off the clock.

I am and will be off the clock still. I will not be checking my work email from this, just like i dont check it from home now.

I also think it is overated. I took a good hard look at all the other options out there right now. The T-mobile G1 looks like a really close competitor, but for what I want, the Iphone still wins out. The G2 looks promising though.

That's good, I don't think I can escape work once people find out I can check my e-mail using my phone. This is one of the main reasons I don't have an iPhone, Blackberry, or something equivalent.

I don't think iPhones are overrated, you get a lot of good applications with it (free or not). I'm anti-iPhonesque devices right now, but if you're going to get a phone of that genre, I'd definitely get the iPhone.

I absolutely love my iphone! In addition to internet, there are a crazy number of sweet applications you can download for it (many for free.)

Please please please tell me you are't talking about iFart. I need to start looking at the app store for ones I want.

What's ifart? Check out UrbanSpoon and Pandora. I also love the Weather Channel's app that lets you listen to and view a little 20-second or so detailed forecast. And then Facebook, Google, Youtube, etc... have apps so you don't have to go to those webpages each time you want to use them.

Just so that you're not ultimately disappointed, there's no official Skype app for the iPhone at the current time.

There is Fring, though.

I found this out in my search for an economical calling option. Hopefully there will be an actual skype application by June. If not I'll probably end up with fring.
