i had a similiar experience while playing with my dad's new iphone. Really great first impression, but the troubles started when i wanted to tranfer pics from it to my n900: no bluetooth transfer, needed itunes 10.2 (i had 10.1) to even connect it to a pc, etc. i had to finally install dropbox to transfer the pics.
But on the plus side, the memory management is great! It doesn't becone laggy after a few days and even if u have 15 apps open (i know its not real multitasking, but...) the phone is still snappy.
At first I was impressed. It is fast. The screen is responsive.
But oh god its boring. Its all so restricted and no tweaking is possible., customisation is limited to very basic stuff.
With Cydia its a decent device, but standard its not great.
I actually really really miss my N900
You should have bought an Android.
There are ones with very decent hardware today, with keyboards, with nice cameras, and you can customize EVERY little bit.
Create themes, modify stock applications, compile your own kernel with your own modules, overclock, use ssh, VNC, telnet, ANYTHING.

Enjoy your iPhone 4
The apps are very good. The gps very quick to lock. Everything works very well. Its just the lack of a command line and ability to "fiddle" I am missing lol
Anyway....pretty sure its going on ebay and then I've just got to decide what I'm buying; a N900 or as you suggest Android.

I'm leaning towards Android I think...
I would seriously consider a Symbian. N8s are cheap now. LOTS of hacking, participate in Nokia Beta labs and try all kinds of cool cutting edge apps and tweaks, lots of apps (not nearly as much as iPhone, but cool ones, like well known JoikiSpot). HDMI, USB to go, best camera of them all. Free navigation world wide and so on. Constantly updates, Anna coming any time.
With the N8 you can use it as a DLNA server and as a wifi router while using USB to go and being connected to a widescreen in HD to watch a movie. It is simply awesome if you get down to it.
Android? Maybe some of the new Motorola is usable, but I doubt it.
