Vodafone have emailed to confirm it – my order has now gone through and I will one of the first Vodafone subscribers who with a bit of luck will recieve the iPhone next week…  I am sad enough to have started a list of apps which will be installed when I get it.  Woohooo!!

This week Google have announced their competitor, the Nexus One, so do I feel worried that I might be buying the last big thing?  Not at all, everything I’ve read suggests the iPhone remains the leader for now, and I think it will be a while before anybody really challenges the user experience on the iPhone which is more what most of us are interested in rather than the total extent of it’s technical abilities. 

Come on next week!
