I've got a 3GS and the only fault is the battery life but I;ve now got a car charger so that shouldn't be an issue any longer. I dunno if its better or worse than a Blackberry because I've never owned one but as a phone its great; for email its great; for music its great; for apps its great. So, 2 years in, I'd say the novelty hasn't worn off yet.
[i]I have a 3GS and my friend has a 3G. A couple of weeks ago I had zero signal and he was standing right next to me with 5 bars on his signal. I also experience a loss in signal and switching the phone off and back on again is the only way to get the signal back.[/i]
+1 to this IME, but along with clubber and co. I'm no fanboy for Apples, but love my iphone and wouldn't be without it, owner for 10months.
As for rugability, mine has a outer case and screen cover and lives in my trouser pocket full time (along with everything else I can stuff in there) and in the backpack whilst riding and is definitely not treated like the treasure item, that it is to me, yet no damage.
I also experience a loss in signal and switching the phone off and back on again is the only way to get the signal back.
Quicker way is to switch Airplane mode on then off - reboots all the radio bits
Ah yes, I have this same problem with mine - going to take it back to Apple to get sorted. It's got steadily worse and now it won't pick up wifi in the house unless you're right up close to the router.

will go lovely with my macbook pro
I've had my - hand me down - iphone for a week now
I think I'll go back to the Nokia 6310 & put the iphone in the draw
Maybe if I had other uses for it other than a phone ??
TBH - I don't like mobile phones anyway so maybe I'm not a good judge
based on my friends and colleagues who own one the novelty wont wear off
you will however become addicted to it, constantly sneaking away to play with it and stop mid conversation to check your email, facebook updates, watch the news, stw etc etc
i would like one but cant afford the 32gb one to match my old ipod
