Me!
Your favorite Blackberry lover got an iPhone. Don't go crazy or anything, someone stole my jacket and ipod over the weekend and a friend had a 1st Gen iPhone laying around for me. (Thanks Rabe!). So, now I'm carrying around an iPhone without service and a Blackberry Curve. I find it hard to imagine myself dropping my Curve for the same reasons I've been saying (mobile IM it better than SMS in almost every way, real keyboard, keyboard shortcuts, etc.)
But, most interestingly, I'll be trying to get it to work well as a remote for my computer. I already installed Mocha VNC Lite (which is awesome, if not a bit slow). Obviously, I installed the remote program for iTunes. As I've written recently, I'm excited about Boxee and I think the iPhone could be a great remote control (hence the installation of Mocha VNC). And, according to Avner at Boxee, they are working on the app.
Some of the other great apps like Pandora or Shazam won't be as useful for me, because I rely on wifi only. I'll be focusing on free apps though, because without the internet with me all the time, I don't think it's worth it to pay for apps. However, tons of other programs in the app store have potential for me. The instapaper free program looks to have tremendous potential to keep me up to my ears in content to read on the subway (auto downloading like I've been asking for from my mobile RSS readers). And, urbanspoon makes choosing where to eat downright entertaining.
So, friends with iPhones/iPod Touches, let me know what apps you've downloaded that make your experience amazing. In the meantime, I'll try to get used to the fake keyboard.
