I can second everything Chauncey said. It's been a great help as a "second memory" when my note-taking skills aren't quite up to snuff. However, today's going to be my first time recording a phone call with it, so I'll report back on that. One thing I've found particularly helpful, at least using the Mac version of the desktop app, was the ability to export the audio as AAC and the pages as PDF. With a little bit of workflow, I'm able to transfer notes + audio to another team member and help alleviate any "tribal knowledge" challenges which might crop up. Ideally, I'll refine the workflow enough to be able to integrate it with Evernote and its OCR capabilities.
I've also been using the 1GB version since I got it back in August, and haven't come close to running out of space.
