when you first get the iPhone...

    ....is it straightforward to set up and use quickly? I've heard that the iPhone takes quite a bit of time to get going, and even transferring contacts can be a pain. Is iTunes involved in the setting up of the phone? Is it true that whatever computer you use to set up the phone, then that is the only computer which it will be able to communicate with?

    Thanks

    Transferring contacts from your SIM is probably the easiest thing you'll ever do in life, except possibly breathe. It's a very very simple phone to use. So simple, there's no user manual - there's no need.

    It is true that the computer you use to transfer your music to it from will be the main PC you'll have to use for software installations etc, but you can connect it to any PC to download photos from, or use as a Modem (Tethering, which you need to jailbreak to use - read the sticky threads here to learn more about jailbreaking).

    Seriously, for me, a mobile addict since 1995, this is probably the only handset I haven't grown bored of in 3 months, and the simplest to use, yet powerful and complex when you need it to be.

    What if you upgrade your PC? Can you not just plug in your iPhone to the new one and continue using it?

    yep, once you download iTunes to the new PC, but then you also have to transfer your music to keep it.

    also not to mention the only phone with a browser that recognises Html5.

    e.g. web forms used to be of all type "text" now with html5 there's type "email" and a whole host others, iPhone recognises this and gives you the aprropriate keyboard (i.e. the one with @ and .com on it instead of standard QWERTY).
