I have a Gen 1 iPhone, so not the new 3G one.

Honestly? I love it. And I'm a Windows guy. Absolutely NOT a Mac fan-boy. It's not perfect, but it's a whole lot better than any other smartphone/PDA I've ever used. And I've owned dozens of PocketPC's, Palm's, Blackberries, and even a Psion over the years. Voice quality is great. eMail is great (though not *quite* as good as a Blackberry, but close). Web browsing is the best on any non-full-blown-PC device I've ever used. The 2.0 update and the App store works really well. Sound quality with music is great, and the screen is big enough to actually enjoy video.

I only have a couple of criticisms of it. One, the continued lack of MMS makes it a PITA to share pictures with email-deficient phone users. And two, the lack of storage space. I'd need a 40+GB iPhone to be able to hold my entire music collection. So with 8GB, I have to pick-and-choose what I want. Kind of a pain, so my iPod Classic remains my primary portable music device.
