Re: Anyone have an iPhone or come from one?

I know the plans are more expensive, can't customize as much, and blah blah blah. I'm wondering who has one or came from one has to say about the phone. I don't want to hear from people who have just played around with one or knows someone with one. I'm wondering what regrets I would have if I switched to the iPhone.

2 possible deal breakers for me would be Slingbox and Pushmail. I've seen a youtube video of the iphone slinging, but is this 'hack' readily available like custom ROMS are for the touch pros? And I'm guessing push mail is probably available but just wanted someone to confirm it.

What other regrets would I have?
I do have both, and I love em both.

I am able to watch tv on Iphone 3g via ORB, but can't change the channel as of right now. I did order a remote that should work so we'll see about that.

As far as slingbox on Touch PRO vs ORB on Iphone, slingbox quality is better in my case because; I have Slingbox PRO, which is connected via HD cable to my cable box while Wintv 1950 only offers composite/s-video connection.

I do like the fact that Iphone does offer bigger screen, and quality is quite impressive as long as I don't compare screen vs screen.

I do love em both.
