My main usage in priority order are (a) mp3 player, (b) phone, (c) contacts, (d) notes and (e) browser (but only via wifi at home).

The iphone seems quite a bit slimmer and appears to have better browser capabilities. While I've never had a data plan, it would be great to be able to surf the web better at home. I've never used the 8525's keyboard nor the preceding 8125's so the built-in kybd is lost on me.

I don't use the 3g, text msg, skype e.g.

I do use the mp3 player function quite a bit; I have 2g and 1g microSDs.

Any other pros and cons of the iphone for my five main usage I've missed ?

Thanks

The iPhone sounds ideal for the functions that you need. The only drawback I can see is that you can never change your mind.

Let's say in 6 months time, if you/your job suddenly have the need to have task management, or gps or you need a finance program, tough. You kind of lose out on all the versatility of WM/Palm devices. And it's expensive.

But, as long as you're convinced that's all you'll ever need, then you are probably right in your choice IMHO.

The lack of open architecture is a problem..... not providing long term flexibility. If you use your phone a lot, you may sometimes become bored with the look or the interface and want to change it. That's not an option with iPhone. Then there's the cost of the phone and the plans.... too high for me. I prefer to have carrier options as well.
