iPhone 3G or Not 3G?

I’m among the many that have been enamored with the iPhone since it first released a year ago. When it first launched, while I really wanted one, I couldn’t justify the steep price for one. Now that the price is coming down and with the promise of 3G and Apps, I’m tempted again to consider getting one despite the hefty cost of a service plan.

I still am leaning toward just sticking with my junky Motorola Razor phone and use the new Apps on the iPod Touch that I have at work.
My question is…are any of you iPhone users currently? Or, are you considering purchasing one of the new 3G iPhones? What is your favorite aspect of mobile computing on the iPhone? What is the killer feature for you that you now couldn’t live without? Anything you can share that might convince me to shell out the $$ for a 3G iPhone and lock into a rather pricey 2 year contract?

What implications or possibilities do you see for online learning considering new mobile computing platforms that are emerging?
