In fact I may actually be faster on this one, then on my Blackberry - and I've only had it a couple of weeks. If you give in to the spelling auto-correct, you should have no problem. Copy and Paste will eventually be added, and is sorely missed. The only time I copied and pasted on my BB was when I was adding people to the address book. However, with MobileMe syncing, I just type stuff off the phone into my address book, and its on my phone in minutes anyway. So I'm okay with it for now.

Alexander Spoerer Sun, 27 Jul 2008 13:15:06 +0000 http:/xentek.net/editorial/138/impressions-of-the-iphone/#comment-623 This was a really informative review, Eric. I especially liked your comparisons between the iPhone and the BlackBerry Curve (which I use now). I do have the agree on a couple of points, the Calender App does bloweth chunks mightly. It is mediocre at best, sub par at worst. I also wholeheartedly agree on the Mac OSX syncing. RIM needs to update that God-awful Mac syncing app. Maybe if it actually ported the one they use for the PC over, things would get better. Syncing on my PC is painless, on the Mac... I think I've had root canals that were more pleasant. The one thing I wish iPhone would have implemented is a simple cut & paste. I mean, how difficult would it have been, really? Palm OS using Graffiti had it, for the love of Babbage! Also, how was the adjustment for your from keyboard to virtual keyboard? I tried using my sister's iTouch keyboard and I wanted to toss the thin in the pool I was so frustrated. I have to say I like the tactile feel of the BB more, and I'm looking forward to BB's implementation of haptic touch tech in the Thunder. Again, great post!
