I'm a "sucker" who bought the iPhone at the release.
No scratches on the screen and I don't use a screen protector either. Works perfectly and mine checks mail every fifteen minutes . . . no battery issues, but I do charge it each night as I have with all my previous phones.
The iPhone has changed the market and is now the leader in market share in the smart phone field. Unix in my pocket and it looks purdy too.
Zealously yours,
Kurt
