iPhone and 3G

Presumably, every techie blogger has written extensively about the iPhone by now. My interest the iPhone turned out to be out of necessity not any passion for Apple products or techie curiosity:

I lost my cell phone riding around on my scooter.

Buying a new cell phone is proving to be a very difficult task. Cell phones integrate so many important technologies that are becoming mission critical. It is becoming extremely difficult to decide which are the most important to you and it is becoming impossible to find a single device that does all well. Mission critical features:

- good phone capabilities (needless to say)
- QWERTY keyboard
- 3MP camera
- high-speed data (3G)
- easy integration with existing email accounts
- solid java VM
- good music player
- WiFi (to save on the data plan)
- plethora of 3rd party apps

I had expected the iPhone to be the device with all the necessary features ...for under $500, that is...it seems to be the best at those features it does have but is missing the 3G and, for now, the 3rd party applications. It probably is still the one to buy as there doesn't seem to be a phone that does do all these things...well, for under $800 like some of those Nokia N-series phones...$800 for a phone...what a notion!
