It still has a few minor flaws, but they're just that; very minor, and I'm willing to overlook that for access to the 55,000+ iPhone applications on the app store (source).

55000 apps and like 4 that are useful to most people not counting games

That's an incredible exaggeration. Take a look at this breakdown:
http://148apps.biz/app-store-metrics/?mpage=catcount
Only 32% of iPhone apps fall under the "Games" and "Entertainment" categories. All remaining applications (68%) fall under the categories of Books, Utilities, Education, Travel, Lifestyle, Reference, Music, Navigation, Productivity, Sports, News, Business, Healthcare & Fitness, Social Networking, Photography, Finance, Medical, Weather, and Strategy, in that order.
In a nutshell: 68% of the ~55,000 iPhone/iPod Touch apps belong to one of a spectrum of different non-game categories. "Nothing but games" is totally bunk.

The iPhone is such an awesome phone. I wish I had one instead of still carrying around an EnV2.
