Didn't say I was looking at that

That still doesn't change the fact that a majority of people who like to type need to actually feel a button being depressed in order to type effectively. A lot of people don't mind the on-screen keyboard, but I doubt I could get used to it, even if there is a landscape keyboard available.

I've learned to roll my fingers pretty well when doing several letters close together. Just experiment. You'll be fine.

While I said the same thing, I have used both the iPhone and the BB Storm. I can honestly say, I am fine with an on-screen keyboard, as long as the buttons aren't too small and the touch response is more than adequate. No tactile feedback is really necessary. It is more nostalgic than anything.

This is coming from someone who was very seriously anti-touch keyboards. Tactile feedback is great, but pointless on a touchscreen keyboard. Just have a sound play. That is enough.

Totally. And you slide your hand around a lot too. Not always lifting your whole hand off the board to move it.

I heard the Blackberry Storm did it all wrong, and their perception of tactile feedback was messed up. What did the Storm do wrong to fail so miserably in creating a touchscreen phone? It doesn't seem like it's all that bad in videos, but people who actually used it say they hated it.

I'm sure anyone could get used to an iPhone's keyboard, but something tells me I'd feel more comfortable with a Palm Pre.

The tactile feedback was horrible, but if you turn that off, it is fantastic. It has great response.

im in love with my curve, and the blackberry internet service is the best thing since sliced bread.

I want a javelin now.. the Bold is waaay to big for me

Except for the fact that the Bold is basically (6mm x 7mm x 0mm difference) the same size. So, how is it way too big? And the Javelin is the basically the same dimensions too. Fail man, fail.

Compare here

oh,

I dont know why, but everybold ive held in my hand feels pretty big :S

never had both a javelin and a bold so i have no idea

It is probably attributed to the significant weight difference. The Curve is 111.5g, Bold is 136g, and the Javelin is 110g.

I think I will be sticking with my iPhone 3G with the OS upgrade. I will miss not having the video on the phone, but I have a digital camera that does better video. And almost everything else comes in the OS update other than some performance upgrades. Whoop de do.

I am just a little sad that it says the Internet Tethering is not yet available in the U.S.

And price of the phone really doesn't matter. It is how much you pay monthly that truly matters and with AT&T it is too much.

Main reason I may never get one for quite some time

Yeah, AT&T likes to over charge everyone for no real reason.

This.

Waiting for my contract to expire so I can switch to Verizon and the G1. The Palm Pre is pretty awesome. So much better than the Centro.

G1 isn't, nor will it ever be, on Verizon.

Shit...nevermind.

I have heard that the Pre will be available on multiple platforms after a 6-month exclusivity period with AT&T. Is this correct?

We don't know yet. The actual exclusivity terms have yet to be leaked. So, the length of the exclusivity is still unknown.

You can have video and tethering right now if you are jailbroken.



All the 4 3G's that i have had were jailbroken, yet apple gave me a new one every time mine cracked.

So the video recording technology is in the phone, just not on the OS? Wow.

There was no issue of technical limitations for video recording from the day it originally launched. The OS was the issue the whole time. Same with MMS, Exchange support, copy/paste, etc. Whack if you ask me.

Why does Apple refuse to provide the same impeccable service of their computers to their phones? lol

Who knows. Especially considering that since 1.2 when the jailbreak was easy, people created apps to supplant the missing features they didn't have. That was 2 years ago. Here we are on the 3rd iteration and it FINALLY gets MMS, copy/paste, and video support officially.

Hate to post an old pic about how iphone is fail, so instead a slightly updated one.







Touch HD FTmfW


Still prefer my wonderful Nokia E71 over anything else currently available though

What about the Touch Pro2? It is even better than the HD in that it has a physical keyboard. Same screen though.
