There is an option in the preferences for Mail that will make it automatically load images.

I'm with Channer on this one. I have the iPhone 3G, but I turned off the 3G only a few weeks after getting it because AT&T's 3G network is terrible. Dropped calls, terrible call quality, failure in "call setup". A few weeks after switching 3G off I turned it on temporarily to do some internet browsing when I got a call from my wife. Two minutes into the conversation she says, "Did you turn on 3G? Because I can barely hear you." If that's not a testament to the quality of the 3G network, I don't know what is. By the way, I'm in Atlanta.

I have had a .Mac account for years (thanks to my work paying for it), but I never really used it until it became MobileMe. For me, MobileMe is awesome. I have a home iMac, a work MacBook Pro, and an iPhone - keeping these three in sync (contacts, calendar) is invaluable, and nothing that I've tried or read about seems easier than MobileMe. Plus, iDisk works a million times better now than it did when it was under .Mac, and the photo gallery sites are better than anything else I've ever used.

SMS still needs some work. I love the conversation view, but as others have said, it currently lacks a lot of the functionality that you'll find on most other phones, such as: ability to delete single messages, ability to save single messages, ability to forward messages, ability to send a contact as a text message. My thought is that they make it so that when you hold your finger on a message for a second, a list of options comes up (Save, Forward, etc.). It would work like MobileSafari's ability to save images.
