I love my iPhone 3GS for so many reasons -- the 32GB capacity holds ALL my music, a movie for long plane rides, and lots of Apps, the new 3.0 OS (especially search and copy/paste), and the greatly improved 3.2 MP camera. While I have both a DSLR (a Nikon shooter for more than 40 years) and P&S camera (Canon G10), I always have my iPhone with me, and increasingly find myself shooting pictures with it. There are also some fun photography Apps, including CameraBag, that allow you to manipulate photos onboard quickly and easily.
Two of my photography buddies, Joe Eisner and Veit Irtenkauf, have a great site -- iPhone Photo Video -- and published one of my photos today. (My first picture published since a cover on Ski Racing magazine in 1974.) Joe manipulated my picture of the Sausalito waterfront in Aurora, and you can see the improvement. I like the way he lightened up and pinked the sky and sharpened the boats. Check out the story and let me know which version you like.
NOTE: I have written in the past about my dissatisfaction with my iPhone 3G, particularly the dropped calls. After several firmware updates last year, when the dropped call issue came to light, it is my opinion that Apple has done everything it can to optimize the telephony capabilities of the device, and that dropped calls are the problem of the AT&T network, which is especially challenged in the Bay Area. My BlackBerry Bold, which I also carried, has more dropped calls on the AT&T network than the iPhone. Where there is coverage, the iPhone's telephone really shines, especially for conference calls.
