Picked up an 8Gig 3G iPhone this morning. I tried yesterday but the lines were too long and I didn't want to wait. Today I got to an AT&T store about 20 minutes before they opened and there were about a dozen people in line. By the time I had gotten mine and left, they had already sold out of their daily shipment. She said they had about 20 today.
Impressions so far: I like it quite a bit. I had played with other iPhones a bit, but not that much. My opinions are that of a new user and not a comparison to a version 1 iPhone. Good, almost everything works well.
Overall: the interface is good and mostly intuitive, there are a few things that puzzle me, but overall it's good.
Keyboard: I'm still getting used to the keyboard, there's a learning curve for sure. I'm not sure how long it will take to get to my max speed, but i hope it's not more than a couple of weeks.
Camera: Good/Bad. I've never had a cameraphone before. The resolution is better than I expected. The shutter speed is much worse than I expected, all shots pretty much have to be carefully composed.
GPS: Just tried it with GMaps once. Seems good.
Voice: haven't tried calls, but the voicemail seems interesting. I make very very few calls anyways. I see an iPhone as a mobile web browser that happens to do voice
Apps: Haven't tried many of them, but the catalog of apps is pretty good.

The thing about the keyboard is that you just have to use the Force. Just keep typing and have faith that the spelling correction will fix your typos.
The camera is slow. But if you hold down on the button, set up your shot, and then release, the lag is not quite so bad.
