I wouldn't buy Pages until the reportedly much improved new version comes out, which (if '07 still has any meaning) should be any week now. Or month? Also, Swift Publisher looks pretty cool.

If you're arguing with people who look at the actual iPhone UI and don't say "wow" it's basically a waste of time. One can easily argue "wow, but I hate Cingular/at&t" or "wow, but that's too expensive" or "wow, but I prefer tactile numberpad…
