		<description>I got an iPhone on &quot;launch day&quot;, and I&#039;m more then happy with it, for the most part.  Let me address a few of the issues you mentioned, granted they&#039;re hacks but they work.

-Flickr
You can still take/send pictures the same way, snap a picture, and email it to flickr.  There&#039;s an option for this on flickr that will give you an email address that automatically puts them on your photo pool.

-Google Maps
I find it much better on the iPhone then I did on Windows Mobile, minus one key feature... I can&#039;t tether my bluetooth GPS device to the iPhone, and this really sucks.  Oh, I think Live Maps for Windows Mobile is much better then gmaps.

-Active Sync
I miss this feature the most, however, most of the things that I&#039;ve read concerning the iPhone state that this will probably be included eventually in a software update.  I really hope so at least.

-Laptop tethering

That just came out not too long ago, haven&#039;t tried it yet, but it sounds like it works well.

That said, I&#039;ve had a blackberry, I find the iPhone interface 100% more usable.  The lack of 3rd party apps really really ticks me off, but I haven&#039;t missed them yet.  The voicemail on demand feature is pretty cool, the screen is beautiful and responsive, web browsing is better then anything I&#039;ve used before, and the iPod portion is perfect, all that I could have asked for.  Oh, the videos looks stellar, even YouTube looks good if you&#039;re connected to WiFi.

Worst case, it would be an expensive iPod, but I have a feeling you&#039;ll use it as a phone too if you make the switch.

		<description>You tether your pearl to your laptop? Do you do this under Linux, and if so, are you on AT&amp;T/Cingular with a tethering plan?  I have been trying to do this without success so far.</description>
