I've been resisting the urge to rub it in you-all's faces for a few days now, but here I go 
I love mine. There was a few initial irritations, but they turned out to be "operator error" - every works really nice and smoothly. I like how it would seemlessly switch between wifi and 3G. I love how I can tap on the address in a contact and it takes me straight to the location in the Google maps client. I love how how accurate the GPS is. I love how the mail (multiple accounts) just work. With just about every mail client and every mobile device I've used in my life, there's been some or other teething issue when setting up my IMAP accounts. This just works.
There are few things that I find a bit lacking though. None of the applications support colour profiles, not even Safari. The iPod software seems a bit lacking. On my nano, I have chapters in some of my podcasts, so I can skip between chapters. The iPhone doesn't seem to honour this. I also don't like the way the forward and rewind buttons work. On the nano, they use to skip in short jumps (a few seconds) and if you hold it down long enough, it starts skipping 20 seconds at a time. The iPhone just skips a second or so. There is a slider in it's place, which for the most part works well enough, but for long tracks (like some of the language studies I'm doing) or podcasts, this can be hard to skip back, say, a minute.
Aside from that, not much that my usual nitpicking self can complain about. I certainly don't regret buying one.
