The landscape is changing in real estate.  Yesterday AT&T announced that it will allow VOIP on the iPhone.  This is a really interesting turn of events.  You will now be able to download SKYPE to your phone and use it to make calls over the internet instead of using your carrier minutes and using their network.  In  my area Verizon has the superior network and I have never had a dropped call.  So I have Blackberry that I use on Verizon.  However could not resist the allure of the iPhone, watching videos while at home inspections, or listening to music while going on walks not to mention Mobile Me which is a wonderful way to coordinate my computer information with my phone automatically.  If I enter an appointment on my iPhone it automatically appears on my calendar on the computer, love this feature.  Everything is coordinated.

The reason I have held out getting the iphone is that there service is spotty in Westchester County and since I travel throughout the county I need dependable service.

Now with SKYPE, VOIP service I will not have to worry about the service because I can use my iPhone and make calls over the internet and I am hopeful this will work well and that I can bring my wireless bills down as well.

I would love to have an Iphone, for all the reasons you mentioned. But, not until we can chose our carrier of choice. Too many dropped calls around Ann Arbor on AT & T. (((sigh)))

I use MobieMe but it could be so much better if I had the Iphone.

Missy we have the same problem in NY with AT&T.  I just upgraded my MAC and have kept my Verizon Blackberry.  I felt the same way you do.  But decided to give it a try, you have a 30 day window to return it and try the service.  The service has improved tremendously and the phone i sheer genious.
