I considered going with an iPhone but haven't been wild about the user experience on my iPad (too inflexible, inconsistent navigation from app to app, Apple bans apps they simply don't like) and I can't abide the idea of a phone with a battery that can't be swapped (which also eliminated the new Motorola Droid RAZR from consideration).
