IMO, It all comes down to the "must do well" list for the individual. For me there are still a few "must do well" items that the iPhone falls short on. This is a bummer for me as there are a bunch of smartphone functions where the iPhone absolutely obliterates the next closest competitor and would love having it for those features.
The big ones for me that are still missing are:
*tethering over bluetooth
*replaceable battery
*Copy/Paste (absolutely the dumbest development decision I have ever seen - and they did it twice)
My current phone is the Motorola Q9h which I hate. WM6 is a turd, web on it even with Opera mini is a joke, proprietary motorola USB afterbirth that won't charge through most computers USB port, the list goes on. The bottom line though is that this phone passed my "must do well" list, even with all it's shortcomings.
If Apple fixed the BT tethering, and the Copy/Past issues (both doable as a soft update) I would probably buy one in spite of the no easily replaceable battery issue. I am around live USB ports all day and could easily get into the habit of plugging in more regularly while I'm stationary. I should note that there was a tethering app that showed up on the app store but was summarily taken down (although I believe it still used WiFi for comp<->phone). Going the jailbreak route w/ ad-hoc WiFi is equally lame.
My $0.02
