The thing about the iPhone, is that it has so many extremely useful features that you only have to use a couple of them for it to be really worthwhile (e.g. GPS, iPod, tethering, PDA, and oh yeah, it's a phone too).
I have a Blackberry from work that I have to carry with my like a leash so that also adds to the problem.

For me the problem is I have never been a PDA person. I tried the Dell Axim and never used it. And now with a Blackberry I just either email myself things to do, or put in crazy calendar reminders, or add notes (I currently have 74) things like grocery list, music list, movie list, games list, etc

The only fucntion I really want on the iphone that I cannot get on the Blackberry is the ability to remote logon to the servers I support. There have been times where I have been out to dinner and someone calls me to do something, it would be hanndy not to rush through dinner to have to go into the office or home.
