I'm a late adapter to any new technology. I like to see the bugs worked out and which products become very appealing. I don't like conformity, but with technology, popularity generally goes - - if not to the very best product - than certainly to one that does its job without problems.
So a big part of my decision to go with the iPhone is the same as when i finally purchased an iPod. It may not be the best device of its kind, but its ultra-popularity is a great boon. If everyone has one, everyone can give you tips ... and with the iPhone in particular, apps can be recommended by a wide variety of people. (To say nothing of the fact that the iPhone has by far the widest variety of apps available.)
