When I switched from my blackberry tour two years ago I was nervous but also excited to get a phone that wasn't a useless piece of junk. I was having such software problems I was having to have it replaced almost weekly. Up until then I was the biggest bb fan and knew everything about them. I had been using blackberry for 5 years prior to that. Not gonna lie, took me a good 2 weeks to get used to the touch screen and I am still not perfect and get frustrated all the time but I don't ever plan on not having an iPhone again. I am excited about the taller ip5 because I'm hoping it will help me type in landscape mode a little easier. My advice is so google "things I can do with my iPhone". Searches like that will give you tips and tricks like how to move the cursor throughout your text instead of having to delete everything (press and hold the screen until the magnifying glass shows up and shows you were the cursor is to move it). That was honestly the biggest frustration to me when I first switched from blackberry.

Hey #2448,

I am right with you! My BB Torch is a good phone, but I have never had an iPhone! My Son and Daughter in law both have the 4s and love it! My issue, like yours, will be to get used to the tactile keyboard. . .I guess it will just take time! Enjoy your 5!!
