I have the same Otter Box case!
Interesting story about the Otter Box for iPhone: I ordered one when they first came out and it was incredibly sub-standard. A flimsy plastic case and super thin rubber made for poor fit and not so trustworthy protection. I called Otter Box and voiced my concerns, being a user of other fine quality Otter products in the past. They responded right away - no excuses - just asked me to send it back after I received the postage paid box. They refunded my $ before I ever got the return box.
Then, about three weeks later I get a package from them with the current iPhone case and no invoice. I called to see if they were expecting payment, which I would have gladly given. They simply apologized for my trouble and said the case was complimentary. Rare stuff, no?

I have thought the rubber on mine was this as well and the 2 rubber strips on the face continually come undone. I wonder if mine is the new version or the old? It has done a great job of protecting the phone. I took it apart to find on of the corners of the plastic shell has cracked. I have dropped it a few times so I guess it is doing its job.

I concur. On a recent trip with Dan into the wilds of Nevada, he is using his phone like he was in Reno. I have ATT and my phone was worthless. I switched to ATT, over 10 years ago, because at the time their coverage was better, unfortunately that coverage has dwindled over time with different mergers and upgrades.
The new Iphone looks like a winner, but I'm not sure I want to stick with ATT and pay the money for yet another phone. I would really like a phone that just works.

If I get any new phone it will be the Sonim XP.

Maybe not all the bells and whistles like the iPhone but tough as nails.

It took me forever to jump on the HAM bandwagon. I think I may be a Luddite at heart, I'm very slow to embrace technology, I still dont use a GPS. In fact I'm buying a 1875 brass compass this week that I actually plan on using. This same time next year I'll probably be an iPhone believer

I was told open source will happen sometime 1st Q 2009. Maybe that's why we are hearing rumblings about Google jumping into the foray. AT&T absolutely SUCKS up here in Northern Nevada. I, no matter how much I want (and I do!) an iPhone, won't get one if it means going back to AT&T.
I was also told Verizon had first dibs on the original iPhone. They didn't turn it down because of the steep royalties to Apple but because Verizon would not concede customer service support from their vast and well built network to Apple stores as demanded by Apple, which if you're lucky you might have one Apple store per community whereas Verizon typically has numerous if not dozens of their own service locations within most communities. Gotta respect them for upholding their service commitment to me the customer!
