Funny, on mine I just press R to text R. I used to have a QWERTY keyboard on my last HTC phones and I don't miss it much, altho I wouldn't type essays on the iPhone, but it's not designed for that. I find texting left handed is probably easier than two handed.

Explain how that is bad please

Ok, fair enough you're the 1/100000 people who use SMS forwarding for a useful reason rather than passing on utter shit that I don't want to read.

Get em to do the orders in email instead, problem solved.

Without boring the arse off you, in the industry I work in it is novel if some of my accounts have a mobile, let alone a computer.

If I asked them to put the order in email chances are I wouldnt get the order at all

A mate of mine who has fingers like jumbo pork sausages admittedly did struggle, so I can see where you are coming from.

I use the Centro and the qwerty pad is really small so shut the fuck up, LOL.

I use my nails to type. I have great nails, lol.

My phone doesn't look this damn ugly, It has some apps on it to give it spunk.

there is a copy-paste solution of sorts available for the iphone called pastebud. it works 'through a clever combination of web services and bookmarklets' so no app or jailbreaking is needed to use it. its free, or pay depending on your privacy concerns.

A decent camera is all that's missing for me. I'm not a camera freak, but I like to take just (literally) a couple of pics on a night out or when I'm around and about.

2Mp was the best last I looked on the iphone. Pathetic!

I don't know, I was playing with my brothers iPhone and that was the one of the few things I was actually impressed with, most cameras are shit on mobiles but that seemed to take very clear and nice shots.

I never really understood the obsession with going to such high digital resolution when proper lenses are so much more important if you don't want your work to be billboard sized.

Not wanting to derail the thread but I've been very happy with my Sony C902. It's more "phone like" but has plenty of features, the camera is pretty good, it looks sexy (and isn't the size of an 80s Walkman) and there's assloads of software out for it, including the sextacular MyPhoneExplorer

The iPhone looks pretty snazzy but like the iPhone clones (like the Samsung ones) it's still fiddly when using that touchscreen for certain tasks and it lacks features that some mobiles have had for years.

Sprint/Verizon have much better coverage.

Sprints coverage is questionable at best. Once you get away from the city or interstate, you might as well throw your phone out the window.

Verizon is quite decent.

And even in a large city I experienced so many dropped calls it was almost useless.

Not real thrilled with the phone selection from Verizon but the coverage is great.

I've not had any problems with coverage anywhere in this shit hole state, nor have I had problems in Indiana or Michigan. I had good coverage. So they have drastically improved there network since you've used them or your talking out of your ass, lol.

I have heard that they have gotten a lot better where they previously had problems such as Findlay Ohio. That's a Verizon area for the most part. Just in the past year or so is Sprint decent there.

How does this work, I'm sure some of you guys might know the answers. Sprint is using the 3G network, How do these other companies fare in comparison like Virgin Mobile or Boost mobile? I hear Boost uses the iDEN network which is part of Sprint. I have no idea of what the difference is. Anyone know?

My buddy has had Helio for a couple years and has had great service since day one, I know they piggyback off the sprint network but what network are they running on?

As a former nextel (boost if you go prepaid, same network) customer that has switched to sprints network with my last contract up I would have to make sure you *avoid the iden network at all costs*

I can only speak about the NY area but coverage is shitty, dropped calls randomly, very annoying 'tinging/clicking' in the background of calls (people who have been on the network knows what i'm talking about ... tssstt click click click click click zrrrrr tssst) and all the phones are shit, very very shit. The only fun part was that the phone was so uncaring about it's interference with nearby objects that we would all know before my phone would ring that i was getting a call if we were in a car or by a tv because any speaker within a 5 foot range of the phone goes TICK TICK TICK TICK TICK then the call comes through, it's very obnoxious.

I don't find that's the case, even with small weblinks. Maybe it's just that I've had 4 generations of touch screen phones now and I've become really used to them.

As for the camera, as long as it has a photo taking function, that's all I care about. I'd never use my mobile as a source for printing anything out from, I have a DSLR for that. 5+ megapixel cameras just mean shitty photos (due to shitty lenses) taking up lots of space on the device.

i saw this news a few days ago and said AT LAST !!!

Finally the phone will be what i want it to be.
sure the addition of cut n paste along with mms are LONG over dew.
but more importantly are the other more hidden features,
Companies like tom-tom and sling-player have had software ready for the iPhone but couldn't put them out dew to FW 2.xx

these and other bits of software can soon let loose on the iPhone with fw v3.

i hope they open up the bluetooth properly other than just for stereo bluetooth.
