Ha ha ha shame you poor man you have never heard of predictive text?!?! I bet I could type a message quicker with predictive text than you on your virtual keyboard.... and further I bet I could do it without looking at my keys.... can you?
Mate you sound like you're just jealous that you don't have one. Look each to their own, but after 3 days of using this virtual keyboard i can type fast with auto-correct disabled. Sure I agree that you can't type without looking as there is no way of knowing what you press, but quite honestly... most people who complain about this is because they use something like mxit and type while they are driving a car, which even though I've done it myself, is seriously not a good idea cause you aren't concentrating, maybe you can see what is happening in front of you while driving, but reading the replies to your messages requires looking at the screen anyway, which if driving is not a cool idea. People who text/chat while driving are worse than drunk drivers! A lot of accidents happen due to this, more than you'd think!
Rest of the message is just a general observation and not directed at LancelotSA:
On a different note. Yes the phone's specs aren't that great if you compare it to something like the Omnia. Take the camera for instance...a 5MP camera vs a 2MP camera (iphone) has and will always be a dumb argument in my eyes, for the simple reason that the lenses used in phones don't justify having these high quality sensors. If you're remotely serious about taking photos use a decent camera, with a lens that is thicker than 2mm!
Then there are other gripes that I have with the iPhone like it's inability to do bluetooth transfers, which well sucks. It's one of those things, you adapt and make other plans. Knowing how Apple operate, it's not impossible to see it sometime in the future.
Bottom line for me is... this phone's interface and the way it functions is really amazing. The iPhone was always going to get flack and was bound to be criticised in a similar way as windows vs os x and much like that argument it's down to personal taste, not one is better than the other.
All in all, if you're a high-end specs all out gadget freak... then go and get THAT phone/gadget instead and stop complaining. Most people who argue on the iphone topic is almost as bad as the traditional my d*** is bigger than yours type thing. It's boring by now, just get over it.
