I have had my 3G since a month after the launch and must say I would not change it for any other phone that is out now. Yes it has a few flaws but the good points are a lot bigger.

Browsing is pretty good on the phone, the safari browser is fairly competant.

The UI really is one of the best out there, so simple to use yet everything you could need is there.

As its also a fully fledged iPod touch its great as a portable media player, and it all works through iTunes.

Lastly as a phone it works really well, I have not had any issues with that part of the phone at all.

Also if they decide to add MMS then they can do with a software update.

Best advice is try to get a shot on one in an O2 store or an Apple store and play about with it for a while to see what you think.

The App store is a great thing too there are so many applications and games both free and paid for that you can get.
