I have an iPhone 3G, and it is simply the best "phone" I have ever used -- clarity, lack of dropped calls, simplicity of calling & voice mails, address book software. Of course you have to be in an area where AT&T is strong.
The most attractive factor of the iPhone is the thousand of apps that are downloadable from iTunes. The usefulness for doctors is getting better: I use Epocrates, Reach MD (CME), Maps (find pharmacy tele #s) almost every day in situations when a computer isn't handy. Now all I need is Amazing Charts Mobile, and I'm in heaven...
