$59.99 a month for my plan with AT&T, that only includes 200 texts though, but not an issue for me.

As for my experience, I personally made the switch back with the original iPhone, left Sprint and sold my Mogul. I think the appeal and growing popularity of the Apple ecosystem drew me in, I'd bought a MacBook, an Airport Extreme router, all I needed was the phone, and it just seemed like the hip thing to do as all my friends were all drooling over the iPhone. In reality, it was a step up from my Mogul, which I never liked it's form factor, but now, after I've gotten a iPhone 3G, had it replaced twice, and the replacements have the same annoying build quality issues (Google back light leak), I'm getting sick of it.

It's not that there isn't a huge selection of applications, there's some I going to have to make compromises to live without that simple have no WM equivilent. It's the build quality, the lack of multi-tasking, GSM interference, and the fact AT&T won't allow anything on the phone to use 3G like Qik or podcast downloads. Now I can have these features if I jailbreak the phone, but I find with the selection of stuff I require to make it bearable the phone slows to a crawl and requires reboots to speed it back up. It just really pains me that I can't have Pandora open, and then load up an IRC client and chat, even the Mogul could have done that. Also in the light of recent things like Live Mesh, SkyMarket, SkyBox, and the (hopefully) inevitable Zune for WM, I can make my life even easier by keeping things in sync between my phone/laptop over the air to a greater extent then MobileMe lets me, and instead I can pay $15 a month for a Zune Pass instead of making myself broke trying to buy music ala carte the iTunes way.

That being said the other my other big issue is AT&T's coverage, I recently moved from an area with spectacular 3G coverage to another part of the suburbs that barely gets EDGE, and it's just plan unbearable, especially when people come over on Sprint and get flawless EV-DO coverage.

While I don't expect everyone to agree with my issues with the iPhone, it's serious enough to me that I'm trying to de-Applefy my life (I sold my MacBook over a year ago, so that's been long gone), it just doesn't fit who I am, and well that Airport I mentioned is a pile of crap that crashes often and corrupts hard drives. Overall I'm looking for an ecosystem that works how I want it, oddly enough Microsoft's does, and will even more-so soon. So for now I've been using a T-Mobile Wing someone gave me to test out some newer applications that weren't around back when I had my Mogul, then once the Sprint Treo Pro finally is released, I'll go into 100% PocketPC fanboy mode.
