"Best thing ever"

Stupidly easy-to-use interface, All in one multimedia device,
What I don't like:
Slow internet connection, low res camera
Review:
The phone is brilliant. That does not mean perfect, as everyone seems to think it should be, it means brilliant.
It oozes apple's easy-to-use style and elegance while maintaining a powerful device. Nothing is hard to do, whether it be typing, calling, checking voicemails, internet, it's all just the push of a button. The ipod is amazing as well. 30 seconds to choose and purchase a song from itunes straight to your phone is rediculously good.
There are tonnes of wireless spots around London to help if you need them, but i have had no problems with the standard connection.
Google maps on the phone is gobsmackingly good. Whether it be getting to a job interview or home from the pub at 3 in the morning its always ready to go.
I've put the ipod away and just sit on the tube watching videos on the beautiful screen.
Keyboard is remarkable as well. As you type in slang it automatically adds it to the memory for next time.
To fully appreciate it you need to spend time with it.
On the downside, the internet connection could be faster and the camera could be a higher res. But nothing's perfect.
It's the little inbuilt joys that make this phone so good. Apple have made the most user friendly phone i have ever played with.

BlackBerry Storm 2
Clicking touchscreen may be useful for clumsy people, but ditching the Qwerty keyboard has its drawbacks
INQ Mini 3G
Sluggish at times, and not the easiest phone to use, but it offers a great range of features at a low price
