It has a hot swap 2GB MicroSD card and I keep about 10 extra in my wallet in the space of a credit card. Movies, CD quality MP3s (not that over compressed, painful to listen to Itunes format), books on tape, TV shows, etc. It also runs Outlook and connects direct to my Exchange server without having to open up any extra holes in the firewall.
It also has BUTTONS and a SCROLL WHEEL. I can actually use the device with one hand. I've seen people try to use an Iphone's touchscreen interface with one hand. Its quite entertaining.
Take into consideration Bluetooth Stereo, Voice dial bundled into the OS, GPRS data, support for 320K audio, support for VPN, data encryption and a few other things that the Iphone doesn't have that my HTC does and the $350 HTC seems like a much better deal to me than the $600 Iphone.

320k audio? Are you joking? What exactly are you listening with? As in, what kind of headphones? Or stereo? You do realize that the human ear can't detect the difference in bitrates that high, right? Also, the iPhone plays AAC files, and a 192kb AAC file sounds even better than a 256kb MP3 file.
Anyway, yay for you. But just because you are happy with an engineer phone that you have to fight to get working correctly doesn't mean other people are.
