I've been mulling over the purchase of an iPhone for months, and I'll be waiting to look at Android for the following reasons:

- I want native email conversation view
- I simply can't stand that keyboard - I need a physical keyboard
- My whole life is in Google's apps, and I need wireless syncing of my Google data

It's looking like I won't be going with the iPhone no matter what. Plus, I cannot buy an iPhone for $199 (and I think a whole lot of people can't either). $599 puts it in the same range as most other smartphone out there.
