Guess who just got a new iPhone?

Getting it set up has sucked up all evening (including nearly burning dinner ... which was difficult given that I was cooking it in a steamer). After fiddling around trying to figure out how to export data from some of my Palm programs, I got out the metaphoric sledgehammer and just copied the stuff by hand. Fortunately this didn't involve massive quantities of stuff -- the address book and calendar transferred over nicely. And after some mulling it over, I decided I didn't really need to transfer my existing phone call log. The successful calls are all recorded on my billing statement, and I can't really imagine any reason why I'd need to know about the unsuccessful ones. There are a few apps that I'll need to track down and order fairly promptly (like a new auto log program). I decided to spring for the "Mobile Me" service to keep all the devices and e-mail synchronized but I haven't installed it yet (since I really do need to get to bed before midnight).

Now I'm all set to go accessory-shopping at MacWorld on Thursday.

Welcome to the Collective :-)

I'm very happy with mine, so far (although I went from No Cellphone to iPhone, so I don't have much basis for comparison--other than borrowing friends' cellphones and thinking, "Jeez, I hate these things..."). My only real complaint is that I wish the keyboard were less unwieldy (I keep typing the wrong letters in my crosswords :-D), but that appears to be endemic of cellphones in general (or maybe not; see above).
