The winner to the $500 Apple Store Gift Certificate is Vostromus.  Congratulations!  This is what he had to say about the iPhone.

"I really think that the interface is what is going to make this phone great. It is simple, yet you can do so much with it. Of course the whole thing is sleek and just begs to be used.

The lack of a physical keyboard could be bad, but I'm hoping I won't have any trouble with it. No removable storage or battery is what really gets me though."

Also, congratulations to MadHattr, balap, Madleist09, Rowe, and insomneak for winning the MY iPhone Starter Kit sponsored by myIncipio.com, BoxWave and iEverything.com.

So our big contest for the $500 Apple Store Gift Certificate sponsored by iEverything.com and MY iPhone Starter Kit ended, and Scott Barr have been combing over the entries and thought I might share some of the info that he discovered while sifting through your input.

First, what is it that you guys love about the iPhone? The general consensus is that you love the touchscreen, multi-touch interface, the way it brings together all of your favorite gadgets and the overall style of the phone. These have really been the big selling points all along, the iPhone is just too sleek to pass up!

You guys also told us what you didn't like about the iPhone. What was surprising is that the price was not the biggest flaw that you pointed out. The two biggest concerns were over the battery and the storage. First, you were upset that the battery was not removable, and although it may have a decent battery life, you won't be able to switch it out. You were also displeased with both the amount of storage and the fact that it is not expandable. After those came the lack of 3G and the high price.

Thanks to everyone that chimed in and let us know your thoughts. We'll certainly be putting the iPhone through a lot of testing once we get ours in, so we'll let you know just how well it holds up to the hype, or if the flaws will be enough to hold it back. Also, one of you will also be getting their very own iPhone for free via Apple's $500 Gift Certificate.
