Great idea. ^^^

I'm sticking to my razor v3i until it dies. What's stupid about the iphone is that you can't travel with it unless you want to pay ridiculous fees when you use it in another country. I made one phone call with my razor when i was in south america and it cost me like 100 bucks. Then I got sim chip from peru. you can't do that with the iphone.

Some questions: - Is there any way I can download podcasts from the iPhone's iTunes store, or do I have to download them on my Mac and them transfer them via firewire (not even sure how to do it wirelessly).
What do you think this is? You don't hold in your hand what you think you need, you hold in your hand what Cupertino allows!

- Why is it so hard to type on this thing? My fingers aren't (that) fat.

Because the typing interface sucks.

Can anyone point me to a nice case?

I'd recommend this.

Yep you caught me, I was just about to trade in my awesome Moto Q9 global, for a POS iPhone 3G.

I admit, I lawl'ed.

And thanks for the microfiber recommendation Andre. Swung by my cousin's optical shop today and stole a bag. It has the D&G logo on it but it's black, keeps the phone clean and takes up very little space. Perfect.

I grabbed one as well.

But can anyone recommend anything nicer?

I've had my eyes on these for the last little bit (ignore the cost factor for now):

Whoa, checked out the Hard Graft site and was impressed. Are they a new company? I could find very little info. Any North American stockists?

I believe they used to be called workingclassheroes before?

No clue on NA stockists unfortunately.
