If I did, the only reason would be to get free tethering. I've been more than happy with my purchase.

What profession are you in? I run an I.T. department for a small 2 year college. When I'm troubleshooting wifi issues for example, I pull out my mogul turn on wififofum and check signal levels and what surrounding channels are possibly causing conflicts. Lord Jobs rejected the app on the iPhone as well as any other useful I.T. apps that might have a side purpose in the underworld. When I need a customized app for my I.T. department I can contract a developer on WM6.x to make it and implement it without Microsoft's permission, well at least until WP7 that is. Jobs will more then likely deny any and all useful apps. Not very professional for my profession. Email is great to have on a cell phone but that alone doesn't make it a smart device. The hardware has the ability, IF Apple allows it but in its current state it's more or less a power toy for people like me and my organization.
Companies aren't going to spend any time and money developing custom apps for their employees if there is any chance that Apple is going to deny them. I think we paid about $30,000 for one of the apps our admissions department uses, image what would have happened to my job if Apple rejected it. We have about 200 smartphones in our organization, due to Apple's dictatorship rules I can never recommend a phone that we can't even control ourselves. Apple won't even allow us an app that is individually approved by a enterprise level customer.
Android seems to be the next logical phone OS that can be customized in the amount of detail that I.T. professionals need. I'm glad that the iPhone works for you but in Fortune 500 type companies, it's either a Blackberry or Windows Mobile (for now) and soon to be Android type phones.
