    I have a phone with a qwerty keyboard (or key pad or whatever they are called). It has buttons. The Iphone doesn't have buttons, just the one screen "letter windows".
    Love it. I will admit it takes a little getting used to.. For the first several days, typing was tough and I kept hitting the wrong "key" when I tried, but I got the hang of it. My wife even noticed the other day and commented how quickly I was typing now.

      Steve,

      I don't remember if I mentioned this or not before, or if you've already discovered it ... but when surfing the internet and you want to open a link in a new window, just hold your finger on the link for a few seconds. A pop up will appear and you can choose to open in a new window, just open the link, or cancel. It makes reading the SA blogs and other forums SO easy. (Adding to it the double tapping *not on a link* to increase the size to full screen, or to decrease it to normal size.)

      I'm glad you're loving it so much!

        I'm posting this at starbucks from my iPhone right now. The keyboard takes a bit of getting used to in the beginning - especially with it's own unique form of splellcheck. I've had it for about 2 years now and can't imagine life without. I also carry a separate blackberry for wor but would never, ever give up my iPhone.

          Another thing that I realized the other day. With an iPhone, satellite radio becomes a lot less appealing since you can use the phone to listen to almost any radio station you want to. I don't have satellite radio but I've had it in rental cars. It was a nice feature when driving in an area where I didn't know the local stations, but with the phone, I can just pull up specific stations from home or by type of music no matter where I happen to be (as long as I have cell service).
