I had the first generation Iphone days after it was first released. Got the second generation Iphone days after if was released.
I think that I could qualify that I've had it for an extended period of time and the typing sucks. Might it be faster? Maybe! But faster isn't always better.
It takes complete concentration to type on it with both eyes and hands. It doesn't have any tactile feedback. And it's impossible to multi-task and type with an Iphone with any skill.
With a BB, I could be cooking, typing, talking on the phone and walking the dog at the same time. With an Iphone, you just can't do that. There is no feel for the raised keys.
So while some Iphone users may want to label those of us who don't like typing on the Iphone as non-users who just don't get it, or haven't really experienced the phone, the truth couldn't be further away.
All of my Iphone friends collectively agree that typing on it sucks and typing on a BB was better. I would gladly take the bulk for a phone I could actually use as a pda.
