Should I Get The Iphone 3GS?

I have been thinking about cancel my service with T-Mobile for some time now in order to get the Iphone through AT&T. I want a phone that is better for surfing the web. One that uses a real browser and operates similarly to how an actual computer works. It would be so handy and convenient for those times when I need to look something up but don’t have a computer around.

There however are several drawbacks that I’m still researching and I would appreciate input from any of you who are reading this. First and foremost I am concerned about the price of the Iphone and the data plan that you are forced to purchase with your contract. It seems a bit expensive and makes me wonder whether it might be better to get an unlocked Iphone and use it on a different network such as T-Mobile. Secondly, how well does AT&T service work. I have heard really good and really bad things about it including a norm of 30% dropped calls in New York.

For current Iphone users out there, do you think it is worth the extra monthly fees and initial cost for the Iphone? Does it really blow away the competition by that much?
