The iPhone is actually not all that pricey, but it's limited in
functionality. Definitely wait for the new 3G model if going with the
iPhone.

The best choice is the HTC Tilt 8925 / TyTN II (Kaiser). This is far
more fully featured than the iPhone, with 3G, voice-dialing, GPS, and a
better OS. It's about the same price as the iPhone because you get a
discount for a contract renewal.
