It's too frustrating for me... I wish there was a switch I could push to turn the texting keyboard to a keypad. I was faster at texting with my Nokia than with the iPhone.

I have to say I LOVE the iPhone keyboard. I'm so much faster on it than I was with a numeric keypad. I'm quite happy using one or two thumbs, but I often use my index finger. I think the rationale of using QWERTY is a result of people knowing it from their desktop keyboard. It's become second nature, for better or worse. I dunno. I have to say I LOVE the iPhone keyboard.

Boggles my mind! I know, I feel lucky to have it in NZ... but it's not all fun and games! Besides having a sore knuckle in my index finger, on the last firmware upgrade it erased my contacts. It was depressing. Otherwise it's all hunky-dory and its benefits outweigh the bad stuff. The next time I go to the states I'll smuggle one back for you... webweaver! hello! :)

Ain't that interesting? Least you GOT an iPhone. …not to mention the fact that the QWERTY keyboard was designed to separate common sequences of letters in English (because once a typist got fast, the keys kept jamming up on the original alphabetical keyboard), and possibly (depends on who you ask) to slow down typing speed to further reduce jamming.

I text a lot and my finger hurts! I think when the SDK is released I'll geek out and build something better. Sadly I don’t think I will get used to it. I text a lot and my finger hurts!

If they introduced the standard mobile phone keyboard, I still don't think it would work. For one the lack of tactile feedback means you can't type whilst you're driving =-0 or under the table when you're in those long boring meetings, but that's a good thing... isn't it!? Maybe they'll include tactile feedback via minute electric shocks in version 2.0 I love my iPhone more than... alot of things You get used to it dude.
