People's needs differ, and there ain't nothing wrong with that
I currently have an E61 so you'll guess that text input is important to me too, but whether an iPhone would be good enough in that respect I really couldn't say. The reviews of the keyboard have been more positive than I expected, but some certainly don't get on with it. I'd really like it to at least be sufficient for my needs (because of all the benefits I've noted above) but it would definitely be something I'd be looking to test. Perhaps by the time it comes to the UK the landscape keyboard will be available in all apps? That would be a good thing imo.
The screen real estate is valid for entertainment (surfing, movie, music) and just maybe business (easier to read text? but then doesn't the virtual kb take up half the screen anyway when writing?) marcol, but for someone like me the real reason I first got a cellphone 11+ yrs back was for emergency calling (i.e. car breaks down, someone needs me asap)...the phone function seems to take too many steps to reach..with my treo at home all I have to do is start typing, rather than wait for a few swipes and THEN the kb come sup...I think in v2 of this thing they must have TWO buttons at least side-by-side - the HOME button and a dedicated PHONE one! Swiping is cool but not as quick as pressing "phone"
