So i wasn't so up on the iphone for a few reasons, a couple were addressed, but not completely, lack of a dedicated keyboard and lower screen resolution. But a friend of mine from Rochester stayed at our place during the tradeshow Photonics West. Igor has his newly activated iphone with him, and let me use it for a while.
I have to admit, Apple's done a very slick job with text entry by providing zoom in correction, and auto-guessing of text, and zooming. I think they know of think that text entry is not a primary function of the phone, andthey hope thatl be used minimally. Some other reservations might still be valid, lack of battery replacement, lack of applications, unless you "jailbreak" the phone, and lack of removable media. All would be nice to have. But on the otherhand the phone is very apple, elegent by design.
