To iPhone or not to iPhone

I'm seriously contemplating getting an iPhone. This is kind of funny for two reasons – 1) 2 years ago I swore off pda phones. I never carried it with me, because the bulky pda phone I had did not fit in my pocket, and if I couldn't just grab it and throw it in my pocket when I quickly dashed out of the house – it would never come with me – and a mobile phone isn't so useful when you're mobile and it's stuck at home. 2) When they announced the iPhone I thought it looked pretty cool, but didn't think I'd ever have a use for it. My little phone worked just fine – it made calls. At the time that's all I needed it for. Then I added a text messaging plan… and then the ability to check emails – the last two worked but the little phone wasn't really good at doing anything other than the original purpose – make calls. I tried to get it to connect to google maps… I only tried once, it was a major pain and really didn't work.

When my brother showed me his iPhone a few months ago, and I saw how cool it was, I definitely had gadget envy. The touch screen wasn't as confusing as it looked on demo videos. The keyboard I found easier to use than I expected (and WAY easier than txt msg with only 13 buttons). My cell phone plan is up and quite frankly I'm unimpressed with any of the new Verizon phones…

So I was just wondering for anyone who stops by here – if you have an iPhone – do you like it? Why? Can you just throw it in your pocket easily enough? I use a PC – how does it do for syncing with the PC? Where do you store your address book – how well does it sync with the iPhone?
