Really nice video…
I just got one about a week ago. I think that there are some amazing features as well as very disappointing ones… For example, not being able to forward SMS made me really frustrated one day when I had to forward an address and couldn’t. Someone asked me to send him a number of a friend and I was shocked to find out that it was not possible…
I still find the experience of typing a message in the street to be weird: when I had a keyboard I could type almost without looking on the screen even while walking. Now I have to stop and use both hands… This is the feature which I like most on iPhone:

Ouch, those EDGE times are painful. Here’s hoping they skip a generation and slap some lovely HSDPA into the UK version of the iPhone when it launches later this year…

Re: Trusting the keyboard –

Anybody remember T9?
I now use a Treo 650 with a QWERTY keyboard, so it’s been a while BUT!
remember the old days when you had to enter text via ABC-Multitap or T9?
Rule #1 of effective use -> DON’T LOOK AT THE SCREEN UNTIL YOU’RE DONE TYPING!
With T9, letters were often misentered or skipped entirely, issues that T9 corrects.
The same concept applies here, as long as you’re close to being right, it’ll correct itself

Yea, we’re taking data entry back a few years, but we’re gaining ALL THAT EXTRA SCREEN REAL ESTATE =)

See you in line on friday!
