My mushy fingers kept sliding off the tiny keys and it was a nightmare. When I busted my wrist, I couldn't put enough pressure to type at all.

iPhone was like an awakening for me. I can type faster and much more easily on the iPhone than any previous mobile device. And I could even type with my busted wrist, since no pressure was needed on a hard little tic tac key.

I just tried the Bold and tried out the Javelin (thanks Kevin!), and while they're gorgeous devices, I still find hard keyboards less productive for me personally.

Luckily, we all have a great range of devices and the most important thing any consumer could ever have: choice!

You're kidding right? Not about the typing part - I can't type as well on an iPhone as a BB - but the rest?

Carrying two devices is what nerds used ot do in IT. No thank you. The one thing I've heard is going to be a future option is to turn-off auto correction in typing, and I can't wait. I hate it.

I don't understand why anyone would buy an iphone when they can get all the good stuff in an ipod Touch and then carry a Blackberry or another phone for their phone and email.

Does any of those facts pertaining to Apple help YOU in any way other than feeling better about the purchase you made? As long as the said device does what YOU want who cares about the company right?

In parting - some of you need to get a sense of humor and learn more about the subject matter. Fact is - ALL of those bOObs got the iPhone and Apple wrong...they're statements are funny and I'm glad Rene posted this.

RIM - I think RIM's comments are still accurate. Apple has very little enterprise success. That is still true. The security on an iphone simply wasn't designed for business. And as for the "typing on glass" comment, RIM seems to be putting its innovation where it's mouth is. The new tactile Storm keyboard rocks and typing on an iphone still sucks.

While were on the past any going to doubt Gene Muster whose analyst report of the iPhone supply chain concluded that Apple was going to produce close to 50 million iPhones in the 3G production run. That means we're only 1/7th of the way through the run so there's a whole lot more to come.

Lastly, it's not game over yet. I trust that the more robust applications are headed our way soon. The SDK may make for easy development but is still only been out less than a year. Plus, you know Apple is nowhere near done innovating. I'm not saying that the competition is done by any stretch in fact I'm hoping that they continue to innovate. But the initial iPhone was a beta. The current device is more of what they wanted the hardware to be. Next comes all of the cool stuff on the roadmap that are possible when you've matured your platform.

(My last phone was a Treo 680, before that, WinMo)

There's been, and still is, a lot of fud spread about the iPhone, certainly now and again we should be able to have a laugh at those who so arrogantly wrote it off.
