Pondering whether to get the iPhone

So next Friday, Softbank will sell the iPhone in Japan. I actually have been waiting for the damn thing to get here since it came out in the states. I currently have AU and am debating whether to make the switch to Softbank to get it. My mobile work phone is Softbank and I have to admit that it doesn't get nearly the same reception as my AU phone. I haven't seen any current and upcoming AU phones that even competes against the iPhone. Docomo has a couple of options like the Sharp touch screen which doesn't look so good and the outrageously priced LG Prada phone (approx 980 USD). I remember when I first came to Japan 6 years ago to visit, I was really impressed with my friends' mobile phones. The full color screen, multi color lights and built in camera really made my monochrome Nokia 6520, which was the "it" phone back then look like crap. Now that I'm living in Japan, the tables have turned and the phones here besides the 1 seg television and mobile Suica functions seem to be less advanced than their U.S. counterpart. Anyways, there is still a chance that the iPhone may come to Docomo which I would be more comfortable in switching to but waiting longer for that to happen, if it does ever happen is harder said than done... This concludes my geek related entry.
