Yes!
I was going to buy a 3g in May. Then researched and realized the 3gs was better. Then did a little more research and found out a new one was expected in june.
I patiently waited, checking these forums everyday and downloading 35 apps from iTunes before I had even bought the phone!
Coming from a dumbphone, you simply cannot begin to imagine the difference!
Things like Shazam, which now seems trivial, was mindblowing!
Now programs like AirMouse, AirVideo, TeamViewer, etc, are the new hotness.
Jailbreaking, while scary to the newb, turned out to be the best decision I've made in regards to the iPhone!
I moved to tampa from orlando, and noticed the signal is definitely worse here. As I type my phone sitting on the desk shows 1 bar...ooops...now 2 bars...running iOS4....now 3 bars....The signal seemed to be greatly affected by cloud cover.
Overall, the iPhone 4 is definitely the best phone in the world, not in terms of being able to make a call, but in the sheer usefulness the device possesses.
Best camera in a smart phone BY FAR. Clearest video in a smartphone. Best mobile web browsing abilities by FAR. Best mobile gaming abilities of any phone BY FAR. Best music player BY FAR. Clearest screen, BY FAR. Of course it has GPS capabilities, so my $300 garmin sits in a drawer.
I love the damn thing so much, 4 out of 4 of my family members have one
That said, I am not sure if iPhone will be my next phone come 2012. If android gets a higher res screen and good apps by then, I may make the switch by virtue of being a tinkerer and not wanting to depend on jailbreaks for customization.
As well as the fact that Android stock navigation is better than my $50 Navigon app which can barely find the publix across the street unless I manually input the full address. Plus no voice control
